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.

Selecting a track
The function is not supported by all Blue-
tooth®audio devices. Some mobile phones impair function with
regard to the following criteria:
Rthe number of tracks that can be selected
Rthe time period until the next or previous

Manual).
XTo skip forwards or backwards to a

buttons, the rapid scrolling speed increa-
ses after a short time.
iIn rapid scroll, track names are not
shown, but instead only Track1, Track2 etc.
The playback times for the tracks played
are not displayed. This is available as an
optional function starting with AVRCP Ver-
sion 1.3. There is also no music search
option available with Bluetooth
®Audio.
Selecting playback options
If the Bluetooth®audio device supports the
corresponding function, the following options
are available:
RNormal Track Sequence: the tracks are
played in the normal order (e.g. track 1, 2, 3
etc.).
Audio data playback is determined by the
order in which the tracks are written to the
data medium. Alphabetical order is the
most common. Once all the tracks in a
folder have been played, the tracks in the
next folder are played.
RRandomTrackList: the current track list
is played in random order (e.g. 3, 8, 5 etc.).
RRandom Medium: all tracks on the data
medium are played in random order (e.g.
track 3, 8, 5 etc.).
