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 91) or USB (Ypage 141).
If you are using Internet access for the first time,
you must enable the connected mobile phone
for Internet access (
Ypage 120). 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 120) or manual access data
(Ypage 121) 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).
