contain at least one telephone number.
Telephone207COMANDZ

The address book organizes and stores
entries that are entered from different
sources (mobile phone, SD memory card,
Bluetooth ®

navigation). You can use these entries to
make telephone calls and for navigation. You
can create a maximum of 3000 address book
entries.
Importing contacts automatically
COMAND automatically imports contacts
from a mobile phone to the phone book.
In this case, the mobile phone must be active
via the Bluetooth ®
interface.
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 from the SIM card
are imported.
Automatically imported contacts in COMAND
can be identified by the Ã/0 symbol.
These are available to you in COMAND only
when the mobile phone is active via the
Bluetooth ®
interface.
Importing contacts manually
i All the manually imported contacts
remain in COMAND even if you use
COMAND with a different mobile phone.
The entries can be viewed without a mobile
phone. Contacts created in COMAND can
also be viewed without a mobile phone. For
this reason, delete the phone book before
selling or transferring ownership of your
vehicle.

only visible in the address/phone book
when this is completed.
Receiving vCards via Bluetooth ®
You can receive vCards from devices that
support the sending of vCards via
Bluetooth ®
. Such devices include PCs.
This requires the device to be authorized in
COMAND. PCs have to be authorized via the
Bluetooth ®
device list ( Y page 151).

Gracenote Media Database
Introduction
This function is only available in audio CD
mode.
There is a version of the music recognition
software from Gracenote ®
, Emeryville,
California, USA on the hard disk. You will
recognize this by the logo which can be seen
in the bottom right-hand corner of certain
audio displays.
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 running 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 the inserted CD does not contain any
Gracenote ®
data, the Gracenote Media
Database menu item is shown in gray and
cannot be selected.
