Updating the digital map
Introduction
The digital maps generated by the map soft-
ware become outdated in the same way as
conventional road maps. Optimal route guid-
ance can only be provided by the navigation
system in conjunction with the most up-to-
date map software.
Information about new versions of the digital
map can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. You can have the dig-
ital map updated there using a data medium,
or you can update it yourself.

Prerequisites
For telephony via the Bluetooth®interface,
you require a Bluetooth®-capable mobile
phone. The mobile phone must support
Hands-Free Profile 1.0 or above. On COMAND
XActivate Bluetooth®(Ypage 55).
XSwitch on NFC (Ypage 55).
On the mobile phone
XSwitch on the mobile phone and enter the
PIN when prompted to do so (see the man-
ufacturer's operating instructions).
XActivate Bluetooth®and, if necessary,
Bluetooth®visibility for other devices (see
the manufacturer's operating instructions).
This visibility is for restricted periods of
time on some mobile phones (see the man-
ufacturer's operating instructions).
XSet the Bluetooth®device name for the
mobile phone if necessary.
The device names for all of one manufactur-
er's products might be identical. To make it
possible to clearly identify your mobile phone, change the device name (see the manufac-
turer's operating instructions). The name can
be freely selected.
If the mobile phone supports the PBAP
(Phone BookAccess Profile) and MAP
(Message AccessProfile) Bluetooth
®pro-
files, the following information will be trans-
mitted after you connect:
RPhone book
RCall lists
RMessages
The battery of the mobile phone should
always be kept sufficiently charged in order to
prevent malfunctions.
iNot all mobile phones available on the
market are equally suitable. You can obtain
more detailed information about suitable
mobile phones and about the connection
between the mobile phone and COMAND
on the Internet at

Procedure and general information
Authorizing a mobile phone (connecting)
If you connect your mobile phone using NFC
( Near Field Communication) the NFC area of
your mobile phone has to touch the NFC logo
on the DVD changer/single DVD drive. The
authorization then starts automatically. The
NFC range varies depending on the mobile
phone and can be identified by the logo. Fur-
ther information; see the manufacturer's
operating instructions.
If you use your mobile phone with COMAND
without NFC, you must search for it
(
Ypage 142) and then authorize it
(
Ypage 142). Depending on the mobile
phone, authorization either takes place by
means of Secure Simple Pairing or by enter-
ing a passkey. COMAND automatically ena-
bles the procedure suited to your mobile
phone. You can recognize Secure Simple Pair-
ing by a code which is displayed in COMAND
and on the mobile phone. You can recognize
the passkey system by the fact that you have to enter a code on the mobile phone and in
COMAND. The mobile phone is always con-
nected automatically after authorization.
If COMAND does not detect your mobile
phone , th
is may be due to particular security
settings on your mobile phone. You can also
start the search procedure and authorization
on the mobile phone (
Ypage 143).
Device-specific information on authorizing
and connecting Bluetooth
®-capable mobile
phones can be obtained from your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or via the Internet at http://www.mercedes-benz.com/
connect
.
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to
COMAND at any one time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of COMAND or
deactivate Bluetooth
®on your mobile phone.
If you no longer want the Bluetooth
®connec-
tion to be established automatically, the
mobile phone must be de-authorized (discon-
nected) (
Ypage 145).
