i Number of contacts in the address
book: the address book can store a total of
4000 contacts.
1500 entries each are reserved in the
address book for:
R contacts from the mobile phone
R contacts that you create in COMAND or
import from other sources
The remaining 1,000 entries are assigned
by COMAND as necessary.
i Display of mobile phone contacts:
con-
tacts downloaded from the mobile phone
remain in the address book even if you dis-
connect the mobile phone from COMAND.
Contacts that have previously been availa-
ble can be displayed as soon as the mobile
phone is reconnected. COMAND down-
loads the contacts again so that any new
contacts that have been added to the
mobile phone can be displayed.

phone to COMAND all the contacts from
the previous mobile phone are replaced by those from the new phone's address book.
Address book entries remain stored when

(AUX) to COMAND.
Depending on the vehicle model series, the
connection is made using a jack in the stow-
age compartment in the center console or a
USB port (Y page 197).
If COMAND is equipped with the Media Inter-
face, external audio sources are connected
using the cable set provided. An AUX socket
is not provided. The connections for the
