Using the phone and address book
The COMAND phone book is an extract of
those entries from the address book which
contain at least one telephone number.
The address book organizes and stores
entries which are entered from different
sources (mobile phone, SD memory card,
Bluetooth® import, COMAND phone book,
navigation). You can use these entries for
making telephone calls, for navigation and for
writing text messages.
Importing contacts automatically
If a mobile phone is connected with COMAND
via the Bluetooth® interface, the contacts
(phone book entries) of the corresponding
mobile phone are automatically imported into
the phone book in COMAND.
Telephone187COMANDZ

Depending on the mobile phone, this process
may take some time. Depending on the
mobile phone used, only the phone book
entries in the mobile phone or these entries
and the phone book entries in the SIM card
are imported.
You can recognize the automatically imported
contacts (phone book entries) in COMAND by
the icon Ã/0. These are only available
in COMAND when a mobile phone is
connected to COMAND via the Bluetooth®
interface.
Importing contacts manually
iManually imported contacts are always
available. Automatically imported contacts
are only available in COMAND when a
mobile phone is connected to COMAND via
the Bluetooth® interface.

Many audio CDs contain CD text. COMAND
uses the information contained therein to
display the artist, album and track name.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD text
information, COMAND can use the Gracenote
Media Database to identify unknown audio
tracks when breaking in audio CD mode. This
is only possible if the relevant information is
saved in the Gracenote Media Database and
if the "Gracenote Media Database" function
is activated.
If this is the case, COMAND will display the
corresponding data such as artist, album and
track name in the relevant displays and lists.
If COMAND accesses the Gracenote Media
Database when reading an audio CD, you will
see the following message:
Selecting Gracenote® data to be displayed
If several entries exist for the CD of a
particular artist, you can select which of the
entries should be shown.

Updating Gracenote® music recognition
technology and the Gracenote Media
Database
The digital data on the Gracenote Media
Database becomes obsolete due to the
release of new CDs. Optimum functionality
can only be attained with up-to-date
Gracenote® music recognition technology.
Information about new versions can be
obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
You can have your music recognition
software updated there with a DVD, or you
can update it yourself.
iThe Gracenote Media Database is
updated in conjunction with the navigation
system's digital map (Y page 173).
Setting the audio format
You can only set the audio format in audio
DVD mode. The number of audio formats
available depends on the DVD. The content of
an audio DVD is called an "album", and this
can be divided into up to nine groups. A group
can contain music in different sound qualities
(stereo and multi-channel formats, for
example), or bonus tracks. Each group can
contain up to 99 tracks. If an audio DVD only
contains one audio format, the "Group" menu
item(s) cannot be selected.

glance" section.
GWarning!
External audio sources may have different
volumes, which can mean that system
messages such as traffic announcements and
navigation system announcements are much
louder. If necessary, please deactivate the
system messages or adjust their volume
manually.
Increasing the volume
In some cases, the volume of the external
audio device may be quieter or louder, or the
usual maximum possible volume may be
lower. On some devices, it is possible to
adjust the volume separately. In this case,
start at a medium volume and increase it
gradually. This enables you to determine
whether the system is able to play tones at
high volume without distorting them.
