data are transmitted to the mobile phone. This
makes it possible to use selected mobile phone
services efficiently. The mobile phone does not
have active access to vehicle data.
System information
RVehicle model
RVehicle year of manufacture
RMultimedia system software version
These data are transmitted in order to optimize
communication between the vehicle and mobile
phone.
A random vehicle code is generated for this pur-
pose and in order to assign multiple vehicles to
the mobile phone.
This code is not related to the vehicle identifi-
cation number (VIN) and is deleted if the multi-
media system is reset (
Ypage 43). Driving status data
RGear position engaged
RDifference between parked, stationary,
coasting and driving
RInstrument cluster day/night mode
These data are transmitted in order to adapt the
content displayed to the driving situation.
Position data
RGPS coordinates
RSpeed
RCompass direction
RAcceleration direction
RGyroscopic effects
These data are transmitted only when naviga-
tion is active in order to improve navigation (e.g.
when driving through a tunnel).
If you do not wish to have your vehicle data
transmitted, you can deactivate automatic start-
ing of Android Auto™ (
Ypage 123) and briefly
terminate the mobile phone's USB connection
to the vehicle.
