Bluetooth®audio mode
Requirements
The Bluetooth®function must be activated in
the multimedia system (Ypage 41).
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, we recommend that you
customize the device name.
iA2DP ( Advanced AudioDistribution 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 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:
