Bluetooth®audio mode
Requirements
The Bluetooth®function must be activated in
the multimedia system (Ypage 45).
Bluetooth®audio mode requires a Bluetooth®-
capable audio device.
Check your Bluetooth
®audio device for the fol-
lowing; see the manufacturer's operating
instructions:
RBluetooth®audio profile
The Bluetooth®audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth®audio pro-
files.
RBluetooth®visibility
Certain Bluetooth®audio devices do not just
require activation of the Bluetooth®function.
In addition, your device must be made "visi-
ble" to other devices.
RBluetooth®device name
This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. For a clear selection of
the Bluetooth
®device, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you customize the device
name.
iA2DP (Advanced AudioDistribution Profile):
Bluetooth®audio profile for audio data trans-
mission AVRCP (Audio
VideoRemote ControlProfile):
Bluetooth
®audio profile for audio data play-
back
iThe Bluetooth®device must be visible to the
multimedia system for authorization. After
authorization, the multimedia system even
finds the Bluetooth
®device when it is not
visible.
General notes
Before using your Bluetooth®audio device with
the multimedia system for the first time, you will
need to authorize it.
When you authorize a new Bluetooth
®audio
device, it is connected automatically. Connec-
tion involves first searching for a Bluetooth
®
audio device and then authorizing it.
You can authorize up to 15 Bluetooth®devices.
iIf you authorize a mobile phone that sup-
ports Bluetooth®audio, the A2DP and AVRCP
Bluetooth®audio profiles are connected
automatically.
The mobile phone is then entered:
Rin the Bluetooth®telephone list
(Ypage 115)
Rin the Bluetooth®device list
(Ypage 179)
Mercedes-Benz recommends authorizing a
mobile phone in Bluetooth
®telephony
(Ypage 116).

tooth
®audio devices within range and adds
them to the Bluetooth®device list.
The duration of the search depends on the
number of Bluetooth
®audio devices within
range and their characteristics.
:Bluetooth®audio player within range and
already authorized
;Newly detected mobile phone with Blue-
tooth®audio mode in range
The Bluetooth
®device list displays all author-
ized devices, whether they are within range or
not. After a device search, devices which are
within range but not authorized are also dis-
played.
If the multimedia system cannot find your Blue-
tooth
®audio device, external authorization may
follow (Ypage 180).
Authorizing a Bluetooth
®audio device
XIn the Bluetooth®device list, select a Blue-
tooth®audio device that has not yet been
authorized: turn and press the controller.
Authorization starts.
Depending on which Bluetooth
®audio device
is being used, the device can be authorized
either by entering a passkey or by Secure
Simple Pairing. You can find information on
this in the "Authorizing (connecting) a mobile
phone" section (
Ypage 116).
After successful authorization, the Blue-
tooth
®audio device is connected and starts
playing.
iWith some Bluetooth®audio devices, play-
back must initially be started on the device
itself, so that the multimedia system can play
the audio data. Bluetooth
®must also be given
as a media output location for the audio
device used.
iThe Bluetooth®audio devi ce must support
Bluetooth®version 2.1 for connection via
Secure Simple Pairing. The multimedia sys-
tem creates a six-digit code which is dis-
played simultaneously on both devices that
are to be connected.
Bluetooth®audio mode179
Media
Z

For some Bluetooth®audio devices, the pair-
ing must also be confirmed within 10 sec-
onds.
External authorization
If the multimedia system does not find your
Bluetooth®audio device, this may be due to
particular security settings on your Bluetooth®
audio device. In this case, check whether your
Bluetooth®audio device can locate the multi-
media system.
The Bluetooth
®device name of the multimedia
system is MB Bluetooth.

Playback options
General notes
If the Bluetooth®audio device supports the cor-
responding function, the following options are
available:
RNormal Track Sequence: the tracks are
played in the normal order (e.g. track 1, 2, 3
etc.).
Audio data playback is determined by the
order in which the tracks are written to the
data medium. Alphabetical order is the most
common. Once all the tracks in a folder have been played, the tracks in the next folder are
played.
RRandomTrackList: the current track list is
played in random order (e.g. 3, 8, 5 etc.).
RRandom Medium: all tracks on the data
medium are played in random order (e.g.
track 3, 8, 5 etc.).
Playback options are optional functions and
are not, or only partially, supported by Blue-
tooth
®audio devices.

®audio player (if this function is sup-
ported by the mobile phone).
Rthe mobile phone is automatically connected.
The Bluetooth®audio player is then connec-
ted.
iFor an automatic connection with the mul-
timedia system, the mobile phone must be
within range.
For most Bluetooth
®audio devices, the "auto-
matic connection" must be activated by tick-
ing a box. Depending on the device used, this
prompt often occurs during authorization (see
the manufacturer's operating instructions).
