Troubleshooting
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
Subject
Connecting the mobile phone to

the
MMI fails.
The mobile phone does not sup­
port the remote SIM Access Pro­
file (e.g. iPhone).
Using the MMI with two SIM
cards (in the SIM card reader
oncf

in a mobile phone).
After the mobile phone was
con­

nected not all/none of the
con­

tacts were loaded into the MMI.
Advice
Check if the requirements for connecting a mobile phone are met

^>page
173.
Or: Check if
you
have accidentally declined the PIN for setting up
the connection on your mobile phone. If necessary, repeat the
connection procedure
^>page
173.
Insert your own mini SIM card in the SIM card reader* and use the
functions of the car telephone kit independently of your mobile

phone.

When the mini SIM card is inserted, you can also use the contacts
from your mobile phone by connecting the mobiLe phone to the
system via the Directory profile
^>page
258.
The MMI only ever accesses one SIM card at
a
time. A mini SIM
card inserted in the SIM card reader* has priority over one in a mo­
bile phone.
However, you can still access the contacts on another mobile
phone via Bluetooth if
a
mini SIM card is inserted

Avoid using special characters in names.
Avoid using contact groups on your mobile phone.
