Certain Bluetooth ®
audio devices do not
just require activation of the Bluetooth ®
function. In addition, your device must be
made "visible" to other devices.
R Bluetooth ®
device name Bluetooth
®
audio mode 207Audio Z

This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. To make a clear selec-
tion of the Bluetooth ®
device possible,
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you cus-
tomize the device name.
i A2DP (Advanced AudioDistribution
Profile): Bluetooth ®

General information Before using your Bluetooth
®
audio device

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. i
If 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:
R in the Bluetooth ®
telephone list
(Y page 128)
R in the Bluetooth ®
device list
(Y page 208).
