tooth®-capable audio device. Observe the
information in the Bluetooth®audio device's
operating instructions.
Before using Bluetooth
®audio mode, you
should check your Bluetooth®audio device
for the following:
RBluetooth®audio profile
The Bluetooth
®audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth®audio
profiles.
RBluetooth®visibility
Certain Bluetooth
®audio devices do not
just require activation of the Bluetooth®
function. In addition, your device must be
made "visible" to other devices.
RBluetooth®device name
This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. To make a clear selec-
tion of the Bluetooth
®device possible,
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you cus-
tomize the device name.
iA2DP ( Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile): Bluetooth®audio profile for audio
data transmission
AVRCP ( Audio Video Remote Control
Profile): Bluetooth
®audio profile for audio
data playback.
iNot all Bluetooth®audio devices available
on the market are equally suitable. To
obtain more informati
on about suitable
Bluetooth®audio devices and about con-
necting Bluetooth®audio devices to
