Setting up an Internet connection
(Canada)
Procedure and general information
In order to set up a mobile phone for Internet
access, your mobile phone must be connected
to the multimedia system via Bluetooth
®
(Ypage 92) or USB (Ypage 142).
If you are using Internet access for the first time,
you must enable the connected mobile phone
for Internet access (
Ypage 121). If the con-
nected mobile phone supports the Bluetooth®
PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to
make additional settings. The Internet connec-
tion is established. If the connected mobile
phone does not support the named Bluetooth
®
profile or the named USB classes, predefined (
Ypage 121) or manual access data
(Ypage 122) must be set.
While initializing the mobile phone for the Inter-
net connection, access data which is already on
the mobile phone may be overwritten. You
should therefore check the settings on the
mobile phone (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions).

NCM or CDC/ECM, Internet access is set up.
You can use the Internet functions.
If the connected mobile phone does not sup-
port the named Bluetooth
®profile or the
named USB classes, predefined (Ypage 121)

Bluetooth®audio mode
Requirements
The Bluetooth®function must be activated in
the multimedia system (Ypage 40).
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 Audio Distribution Profile):
Bluetooth®audio profile for audio data trans-
mission
AVRCP (A udioVideo Remote 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 auto-
matically. Connection involves first searching
for a Bluetooth
®audio device and then author-
izing 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 94)
Rin the Bluetooth®device list
(Ypage 149)
Mercedes-Benz recommends authorizing a
mobile phone in Bluetooth
®telephony
(Ypage 94).

®audio devices within
range and their characteristics.

If the multimedia system cannot find your Blue-
tooth®audio device, external authorization may
follow (Ypage 150).
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 94). After successful
authorization, the Bluetooth®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 149), 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.
XSwitch on Bluetooth®audio mode

XSlide 6the controller.
The media menu bar is shown.
XTo select Connect Device: turn and press
the controller.
XTo select ConnectviaAudioDevice: turn
and press the controller.
XStart the authorization on your Bluetooth®
audio device (see the manufacturer's operat- ing instructions).
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.

Selecting a track
The function is not supported by all Bluetooth®
audio devices.
Some mobile phones impair function with
regard to the following criteria:
Rthe number of tracks that can be selected
Rthe time period until the next or previous track is played
XUse the multifunction steering wheel to
switch to the media menu in the on-board
computer; see the vehicle Operator's Manual.
XTo skip forward or back to a track: press

steering wheel.
XTo rapid scroll: press and hold the 9
or : button on the multifunction steering
wheel until the desired track is reached.
If you press and hold the 9or: but-
tons, the rapid scrolling speed increases after

iDuring rapid scrolling, track names are not
displayed but only Track+1, Track+2, etc. (or
Track-1, Track-2, etc.). There are no playback
times shown for tracks that have been played.
This is available as an optional function start-
ing with AVRCP Version 1.3.
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.

automatically under the following circumstan-
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

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).
