Introductory information
Introduction to the subject
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen, Bolero
This chapter deals with the operation of Infotainment with the telephone con-
nected via Bluetooth ®
as well as the use of the SIM-card in the external mod-
ule.
Depending on the Bluetooth ®
-profile used it is possible to connect to a tele-
phone or two phones simultaneously to Infotainment.
The SIM card in the external module can be used for data and telephone serv-
ices (Columbus).
If telephones are connected to Infotainment with multiple SIM cards, then calls
can be accepted by all SIM cards of the connected telephones.
For outgoing calls, it depends on the type of connected telephone, either only
the primary SIM card or one of the other SIM cards can be selected.
The Infotainment allows you to choose if you want to text messages of the
main phone (if this is supported by the phone), or work with text messages
from the SIM card inserted in the external module.
If Infotainment is connected to an external device via Apple CarPlay then the
use of the Bluetooth ®
connection is not possible and the Telephone menu is
not available. A possible data connection via the SIM card remains operational
» page 164 .

Pair and connect
Introduction to the subject
The range of the connection to Infotainment is limited to the passenger com-
partment.
To connect a telephone with Infotainment, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
ABCThe pairing process is dependent on the number of phones that are already
connected or by using the SIM card inserted in the external module (Columbus)
» page 154 .
Depending on the Infotainment model, up to 20 external devices can be paired
with the device. After reaching the maximum number, the pairing of the next
external device will replace that of the device that has not been used for the
longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require pairing.
It is enough to find the telephone that has been paired in the list of paired
phones and make the connection.WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to Infotainment only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of an accident!
