functions via the Infotainment system in the vehicle. To be able to use the
Phone portal, the mobile phone must
be connected to the Infotainment
system via Bluetooth.
Not all Phone functions are supported by every mobile phone. The usable
phone functions depend on the
relevant mobile phone and network
provider. You will find further
