Procedure and general information
If you are using Internet access for the first time,
you must enable the connected mobile phone
for Internet access (
Ypage 126). If the con-
nected mobile phone supports the Bluetooth®
PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to
make additional settings. The Internet connec-
tion is established. If the connected mobile
phone does not support the named Bluetooth
®
profile or the named USB classes, predefined
(Ypage 127) or manual access data
(Ypage 127) must be set.
While initializing the mobile phone for the Inter-
net connection, access data which is already on
the mobile phone may be overwritten. You should therefore check the settings on the
mobile phone (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions).
Enabling the mobile phone for Inter-
net access
XCall up Internet functions (Ypage 129).

XTo select Settings: turn and press the con-
troller.
XTo select Configure Internet Settings:
turn and press the controller.
A message is displayed telling you that the
settings for the Internet functions depend on
your mobile phone network provider and your
mobile phone.
If a mobile phone has already been enabled,
the device list is displayed.
XTo select Start Search: turn and press the
controller.
Mobile phones are displayed that:
Rare connected to the multimedia system
Rfulfill the conditions for the Internet func-
tions
Rhave not yet been set up for the Internet
function
XTo select a mobile phone from the device list: turn the controller and press to confirm.
If the mobile phone supports the Bluetooth
®
PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS, CDC/
NCM or CDC/ECM, Internet access is set up.
You can use the Internet functions.
If the connected mobile phone does not sup-
port the named Bluetooth
®profile or the
named USB classes, predefined (Ypage 127)
or manual access data (Ypage 127) must be
set.

Bluetooth®audio mode
Connecting Bluetooth®audio devices
Prerequisites
XActivate the Bluetooth®function in the mul-
timedia system (Ypage 41).
Bluetooth
®audio mode requires a Bluetooth®-
capable audio device.
Check your Bluetooth
®audio device for the fol-
lowing (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions):
RBluetooth®audio profile
The Bluetooth®audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth®audio pro-
files.
RBluetooth®visibility
Certain Bluetooth®audio devices do not just
require activation of the Bluetooth®function.
In addition, your device must be made "visi-
ble" 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 Audio Distribution Profile):
Bluetooth®audio profile for audio data trans-
mission
AVRCP ( Audio Video Remote Control Profile):
Bluetooth
®audio profile for audio data play-
back
iThe Bluetooth®device must be visible for
authorization. After authorization, the multi-
media system even finds the Bluetooth
®
device when it is not visible.
General notes
Before using your Bluetooth®audio device with
the multimedia system for the first time, you will
need to authorize it.
When you authorize a new Bluetooth
®audio
device, it is connected automatically. Connec-
tion involves first searching for a Bluetooth
®
audio device and then authorizing it.
You can authorize up to 15 Bluetooth®devices.
iIf you authorize a mobile phone that sup-
ports Bluetooth®audio, the A2DP and AVRCP
Bluetooth®audio profiles are connected
automatically.
The mobile phone is then entered:
Rin the Bluetooth®telephone list
(Ypage 98)
Rin the Bluetooth®device list
(Ypage 162)
Mercedes-Benz recommends authorizing a
mobile phone in Bluetooth
®telephony
(Ypage 98).

A message appears.
XSelect Start Search.
The multimedia system searches for Blue-
tooth
®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.

;Newly detected mobile phone with Blue-
tooth®audio mode in range
The Bluetooth
®device list displays all author-
ized devices, whether they are within range or
not. After a device search, devices which are
within range but not authorized are also dis-
played.
iWith some Bluetooth®audio devices, play-
back must initially be started on the device
itself, so that the multimedia system can play
the audio data. 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 continu-
ing with authorization.
Option 1: entering the passkey
XYou can find information on this in the
"Authorizing (connecting) a mobile phone"
section (
Ypage 98).
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 98).
After successful authorization, the Blue-
tooth
®audio device is connected and starts
playing.
iThe Bluetooth®audio device must support
Bluetooth®version 2.1 for connection via
Secure Simple Pairing. The multimedia sys-
tem creates a six-digit code which is dis-
played simultaneously on both devices that
are to be connected.
For some Bluetooth
®audio devices, the pair-
ing must be confirmed within 10 seconds.
XIf the number code displayed on the multime-
dia system and on the Bluetooth®audio
device is the same, select Yes: press the con-
troller.
If you select Yes
, authorization continues and
the Bluetooth®audio device is connected.
Playback starts.
If you select No
, authorization will be can-
celed.
External authorization
If the multimedia system 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
Bluetooth®audio device can locate the multi-
media system.
The Bluetooth
®device name of the multimedia
system is MB Bluetooth.
XSwitch on Bluetooth®audio mode
