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.

After successful authorization, the Blue-
tooth
®audio device is connected and

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
bo th d
evices that are to be connected

Selecting playback options
If the Bluetooth®audio device supports the
corresponding function, the following options
are available:

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.).
Playback options are optional functions
and are not, or only partially, supported by
