(Canada) Procedure and general information
In order to set up a mobile phone for Internet
access, your mobile phone must be connected
to the multimedia system via Bluetooth ®
(Y page 92) or USB (Y page 145).
If you are using Internet access for the first time,
you must enable the connected mobile phone
for Internet access (Y page 121). 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
(Y page 122) or manual access data
(Y page 122) 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
