If the multimedia system cannot find your Blue-
tooth®audio device, external authorization may
follow (Ypage 148).
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 92).
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. For the audio device used, the
output of the audio files has to be specified via
Bluetooth
®.
iThe Bluetooth®audio device 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.
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 (Ypage 147), 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 multimedia 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.

ces:
Rone of the last two mobile phones to have
been connected has also been used as a Blue-
tooth
®audio device (if the function is sup-
ported by the mobile phone).
Rthe mobile phone is automatically connected.
The Bluetooth®audio device 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).

Important safety notes
GWARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product.
If you open the housing of the CD/DVD drive,
there is a risk of exposure to invisible laser
radiation. This laser radiation could damage
your retina. There is a risk of injury.
Never open the housing. Always have main-
tenance and repair work carried out at a quali- fied specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If you handle a disc while driving, you may be
distracted from the traffic situation. You could
also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
152Video DVD mode
Media

Only handle a disc when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers a
distance of 44 ft (approximately 14 m)per sec-
ond.
General notes
Notes on discs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con-
tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even
when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
The variety of data media, burners and burn
software means there is no guarantee that the
system will be able to play discs that you have
copied yourself.
DVD playback conditions
The multimedia system can play back video
DVDs produced according to the following
standards:
RRegion code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
RPAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details either
on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
With DVDs that do not meet the standard
requirements, you may encounter playback
problems.
iObserve the following notes:
RIt is also possible to play video DVDs with a
different region code, provided that they
are produced in accordance with the PAL or
NTSC standard. If you insert a video DVD with a different region code, a message to
this effect appears.
RThe multimedia system is set to region
code 1 at the factory. This setting can be
changed at a qualified specialist workshop.
The region code can be changed up to five
times.
RIf a DVD cannot be played back according
to national color transfer methods (PAL or
NTSC standards), problems with the image,
sound or playback may occur.
Control options
There are four control menus available in video
DVD mode.
Most DVDs have their own control menu. The
DVD is operated directly using the controller or DVD functions.
