Using the telephone via the Blue-
tooth® interface
Bluetooth® technology is the standard for
short-range wireless data transmission of up
to approximately 10 metres. Bluetooth® can
be used to exchange vCards or make calls
using a headset or handset, for example.
If your vehicle is equipped with convenience
telephony* and you would like to make calls
using the Bluetooth® interface, be sure that
your mobile phone is neither in the mobile
phone bracket* nor connected to it*. This
may result in a malfunction, depending on the
type of mobile phone.
Activating/deactivating Bluetooth®
XSelect Vehicle Q System Q Blue‐
tooth Q Bluetooth activated.
A tick appears when Bluetooth® is activated.
Mobile phone requirements
For telephony via COMAND's Bluetooth®
interface, you require a Bluetooth®-capable
mobile phone.
iNot all mobile phones available on the
market are equally suitable. You can obtain
more detailed information about suitable
mobile phones and about connecting Blue-
tooth®-capable mobile phones to
COMAND from your Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre or on the Internet
(www.mercedes-benz.com).
To avoid malfunctions, the mobile phone's
rechargeable battery must always be suffi-
ciently charged.
In preparation for telephoning via the Blue-
tooth® interface you should check the follow-
ing items on your mobile phone (see the
mobile phone operating instructions):
RHands-Free Profile
The mobile phone must support Hands-
Free Profile 1.0 or above.
iCertain displays (e.g. the field strength
display or the mobile phone network pro-
vider) appear depending on the supported
version of the Hands-Free Profile.
RBluetooth® visibility
On certain mobile phones, the device itself
must be made "visible" for other devices,
as well as activating the Bluetooth® func-
tion.
RBluetooth® device name
Every Bluetooth® device has a Bluetooth®
device name. This device name is freely
definable, but can be identical for all devi-
ces from the same manufacturer. It is a
good idea to choose a personalised name
by which you can identify your mobile
phone clearly.

Connecting a mobile phone
XSwitch on the mobile phone and enter the
PIN, if necessary – see the mobile phone
operating instructions.
XActivate the Bluetooth® functionality on
the mobile phone – see the mobile phone
operating instructions.
Bluetooth® is activated on COMAND as
standard. When the "Bluetooth®" function is
switched off on COMAND, the following mes-
sage appears: Bluetooth not activated
in system settings. Switch on Blue-
tooth® manually on COMAND (Y page 115).
Registering (authorising) the mobile
phone
Before you use your mobile phone with
COMAND for the first time, you must register
(authorise) it.
You can register more than one mobile
phone. A connection is always established to
the most recently connected mobile phone
within range.
If no connection can be made to the most
recently connected mobile phone, the system
searches for the mobile phone which was
connected before that one.
If you authorise a new mobile phone, it will be
automatically connected17.
XSelect Data/connectionsQBlue‐
tooth telephonesQ Update.
COMAND looks for Bluetooth® devices
within range and adds them to the Blue-
tooth® phone list.
The duration of the search depends on the
number of Bluetooth® devices within range
and on the mobile phone characteristics
(Hands-Free-Profile version, any "visibility"
requirements).
Example of display: Bluetooth® telephones list
:Currently connected # and authorised
mobile phone L
;Mobile phone not within range but previ-
ously authorised (L symbol appears in

iIf the Bluetooth® telephone list is already
full, you will be asked to de-authorise a
Bluetooth® device (Y page 118). If
COMAND does not find your mobile phone,
external authorisation (Y page 117) is nec-
essary.
XTo authorise: select not yet authorised

phones list and select
OptionsQAuthorise.

The passcode is any one to sixteen-digit num-
ber combination which you can determine
yourself. You must enter the same number
combination in COMAND and in the Blue-
tooth® device to be authorised; see the Blue-
tooth® device operating instructions.
It is a good idea to enter a passcode with at
least four digits to ensure a secure Blue-
tooth® connection.
Passcode input in COMAND
You can enter the passcode in COMAND with
the digits in the menu bar or with the tele-
phone keypad.
XInput via the menu bar: use the COMAND
controller to highlight digits; confirm the
selection.
or
XInput via the telephone keypad: press
the respective buttons on the keypad.
XTo confirm: select ¬ in the menu bar.
or
XSelect the z or ; button on the tele-
phone keypad.
XTo delete the input: select F from the
menu bar and press W.
or
XSelect $ on the telephone keypad.
Passcode input on the keypad
If the Bluetooth® connection is successful,
you will be prompted by the mobile phone to
enter the passcode – see mobile phone oper-
ating instructions.
XEnter the same passcode on the mobile
phone that you entered in COMAND.
iAfter entering the passcode, you may also
need to enter a confirmation in your mobile
phone. Check the display of your mobile
phone.
If the Authorisation procedure unsuc‐
cessful message appears on the
COMAND display, you have either excee-
ded the allowed time or you have not
entered the passcode correctly. Repeat the
procedure.
The mobile phone is connected to COMAND
(authorised). You can now phone using the
COMAND hands-free system.
External authorisation
If COMAND does not detect your mobile
phone, this may be due to particular security
settings on your mobile phone. In this case,
you can test if your mobile phone can find
COMAND. COMAND's Bluetooth® device
name is MB Bluetooth.

Changing between Bluetooth® and
convenience telephony*
If your vehicle is equipped with convenience
telephony*, you can switch between teleph-
ony types. If you want to use another mobile
phone, you will first need to connect it
(Y page 116).
Switching telephony type during opera-
tion
During operation, you can switch from one
telephony type to another by connecting
another mobile phone or by making a selec-
tion from the list.
Switching telephony type when switch-
ing on
By default, COMAND performs the following
actions when it is switched on:
Mobile phone is inserted in mobile phone
bracket*
COMAND starts convenience telephony*.
If no mobile phone is inserted in the mobile
phone bracket*, the following message
appears: Telephone not inserted. This is
followed by a prompt asking you whether you
wish to switch to Bluetooth® telephony. If you
confirm by selecting Yes, the Ready for
Bluetooth telephony... message will
appear. COMAND will search for the two
mobile phones last connected via the Blue-
tooth® interface. If one of the two mobile
phones is found, the telephone basic menu

mobile phones is found, the telephone basic
menu for Bluetooth® telephony
(Y page 118) appears. If neither of the two
mobile phones is found, the Ready for

remains on the display. You now have to reg-
ister your mobile phone (Y page 116).

phone remains active until the next time
COMAND is switched off if you do not con-
nect a different mobile phone via the phone
list.

Using the phone book and address
book
The COMAND phone book is an extract of
those entries from the address book which
contain at least one telephone number.
In addition, the first entry is "MB Contact",
which can be used to place a call to the
Mercedes-Benz Hotline.
The address book organises and stores
entries which are entered from different sour-
ces (mobile phone, SD memory card, Blue-
tooth® import, COMAND phone book, navi-
gation). You can use these entries to make
telephone calls, for navigation and for writing
(text messages).
Importing contacts automatically
If basic telephony is activated via the Blue-
tooth® interface or convenience telephony*
using the mobile phone bracket*, contacts
(phone book entries) are automatically impor-
ted from the respective mobile phone to the
COMAND phone book.
Depending on the mobile phone, this process
may take some time. Depending on the
mobile phone used, only the phone book
entries in the mobile phone or these entries
and the phone book entries in the SIM card
are imported.
Automatically imported contacts (phone
book entries) in COMAND can be identified
by the d/0 symbol. These entries are
only available in COMAND when telephony via
the Bluetooth® interface (basic telephony) or
using the mobile phone bracket* (conveni-
ence telephony*) is activated.
Importing contacts manually
iManually imported contacts are always
available. Automatically imported contacts
are available only when basic telephony via
the Bluetooth® interface or convenience
telephony* using the mobile phone
bracket* is activated.
You can import existing data manually:
Rfrom the memory card
Rvia the Bluetooth® interface (e.g. Blue-
tooth® telephone, Bluetooth® PC)
XTo import data: load the memory card or
activate Bluetooth® in COMAND
(Y page 115) and on the Bluetooth® tele-
