Bluetooth®audio mode
Connecting Bluetooth®audio devices
Requirements
XActivate the Bluetooth®function in
COMAND (
Ypage 44).
Bluetooth
®audio mode requires a Blue-
tooth®-capable audio device.
Check your Bluetooth
®audio device for the
following (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions):
RBluetooth®audio profile
The Bluetooth
®audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth®audio
profiles.
RBluetooth®visibility
Certain Bluetooth
®audio devices do not
just require activation of the Bluetooth®
function. In addition, your device must be
made "visible" 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 AudioDistribution
Profile): Bluetooth®audio profile for audio
data transmission
AVRCP (Audio VideoRemote Control
Profile): Bluetooth
®audio profile for audio
data playback.
iThe Bluetooth®device must be visible for
authorization. After authorization,
COMAND even finds the Bluetooth
®device
when it is not visible.

General notes
Before using your Bluetooth®audio device
with COMAND for the first time, you will need
to authorize it.
When you authorize a new Bluetooth
®audio
device, it is connected automatically. Con-
nection involves first searching for a Blue-
tooth
®audio device and then authorizing it.
You can authorize up to fifteen Bluetooth
®
devices.
iIf you authorize a mobile phone that sup-
ports Bluetooth®audio, the A2DP and
AVRCP Bluetooth®audio profiles are con-
nected automatically.
The mobile phone is then entered:
Rin the Bluetooth®telephone list
(
Ypage 115)
Rin the Bluetooth®device list
(
Ypage 195)
Mercedes-Benz recommends authorizing a
mobile phone in Bluetooth
®telephony
(
Ypage 116).
iIf the mobile phone that is connected only
supports two Bluetooth®profiles at the
same time, COMAND functions may
behave as follows:
Rwhen connecting to the Internet, play-
back is stopped on the Bluetooth®audio
device.
Rwhen starting playback on the Blue-
tooth®audio device, the Internet con-
nection is ended.

Searching for Bluetooth®audio
XTo selectSearch for Audio Devices:
press the controller.
A message appears.
XSelect Start Search.
COMAND searches for Bluetooth®audio
devices within range and adds them to the
Bluetooth
®device list.
The duration of the search depends on the
number of Bluetooth
®audio devices within
range and their characteristics.
iWith some Bluetooth®audio devices,
playback must first be started on the device
itself so that COMAND can play the audio
files. Bluetooth
®must also be given as a
media output location for the audio device
used.
Authorizing Bluetooth
®audio
XSelect a Bluetooth®audio device that has
not yet been authorized from the list: turn
and press the controller.
Authorization starts.
Depending on the Bluetooth
®audio device
used, you now have two options for con-
tinuing with authorization.
Option 1: entering the passkey
XYou can find information on this in the
"Authorizing (connecting) a mobile phone"
section (
Ypage 116).
After successful authorization, the Blue-
tooth
®audio device is connected and
starts playing.
Option 2: Secure Simple Pairing
XYou can find information on this in the
"Authorizing (connecting) a mobile phone"
section (
Ypage 116).
After successful authorization, the Blue-
tooth
®audio device is connected and
starts playing.
iThe Bluetooth®audio device must sup-
port Bluetooth®version 2.1 for connection
via Secure Simple Pairing. COMAND cre- ates a six-digit code, which is displayed on
both devices that are to be connected
For some Bluetooth
®audio devices, the
pairing must be confirmed within 10 sec-
onds.
XIf the number code displayed on COMAND
and on the Bluetooth®audio device is the
same, select Yes
: press the controller.
If you select Yes
, authorization continues
and the Bluetooth®audio device is connec-
ted. Playback starts.
If you select No
, authorization is canceled.
External authorization
If COMAND does not find your Bluetooth®
audio device, this may be due to particular
security settings on your Bluetooth®audio
device. In this case, check whether your Blue-
tooth
®audio device can locate COMAND.
The Bluetooth
®device name for COMAND is
MB Bluetooth
