cannot establish an Internet connection dur-
ing a service call.
Canada:a mobile phone must be connected
via Bluetooth
®(Ypage 112) or USB
(
Ypage 198) with COMAND. Furthermore,
you need a valid mobile service contract with
a data option, which is used to calculate the
associated connection costs.
Conditions for a Bluetooth
®connection
RThe mobile phone supports at least one of
the Bluetooth®profiles DUN ( Dial-U p
Networking) or PAN ( PersonalArea
Network).
The Bluetooth
®profiles DUN and PAN ena-
ble the Internet connection of the mobile
phone to be made available to the system.
Conditions for a USB connection
RThe mobile phone supports at least one of
the USB classes:
-RNDIS ( Remote Network Driver Inter-
face Specification)
-CDC/NCM ( NetworkControl Model)
-CDC/ECM ( Ethernet Control Model)
-CDC/ACM ( Access Control Model)
The USB classes enable the mobile phone
Internet connection to be made available to
the system.
The terms of use are shown when the system
is used for the first time and then once a year
thereafter. Only read and accept the terms of
use when the vehicle is stationary.
The driver is not permitted to call up websites
while driving and use of the Me

Setting up an Internet connection
(Canada)
Procedure and general information
If you are using Internet access for the first
time, you must enable the connected mobile
phone for Internet access (
Ypage 147). If the
connected mobile phone supports the Blue-
tooth
®PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to
make additional settings. The Internet con-
nection is established. If the connected
mobile phone does not support the named
Bluetooth
®profile or the named USB classes,
predefined (
Ypage 148) or manual access
data (
Ypage 148) must be set.
While initializing the mobile phone for the
Internet connection, access data which is
already on the mobile phone may be over-
written. You should therefore check the set-
tings on the mobile phone (see the manufac-
turer's operating instructions).

from one data medium. For data media with more than 64 GB, only files in the following
folders are supported: Music, Pictures,
Video.
Track and file names
When you create a disc with compressed
music files, you can assign names to the

If MP3 or WMA files are stored in the root
directory itself, the root directory will also be
treated as a folder.
You should observe the following when
assigning track names:
Rtrack names must have at least one char-
acter.
Rtrack names must have an extension of a
supported audio/video format, e.g. mp3,
aac or m4v.
Rthere must be a dot between the track
