Depending on the country and vehicle equipment, your vehicle may have the following mobile phone interfaces:
Phone interface basic configuration.
The phone interface uses the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) Bluetooth profile for transmission. This profile enables the use of
phone functions via the Infotainment system and playback via the vehicle speakers.
Convenience phone interface.
Just like the basic configuration of the phone interface, the Convenience phone interface uses the HFP Bluetooth profile.
The Convenience phone interface can be equipped with the wireless charging function ⇒ Charging Options for Mobile
Devices. In order to use the wireless charging function, you need to place a suitable cell phone correctly in the storage
compartment for the wireless charging function. Depending on the vehicle equipment and cell phone compatibility, the
cell phone connects to the vehicle aerial when you place the phone in the storage compartment .
Connecting to the vehicle antenna
Depending on the model and the vehicle equipment, and in some countries, using the storage compartment for the wireless
charging function ⇒ Charging Options for Mobile Devices connects the cell phone to the vehicle antenna. This improves the
reception and the call quality, and it can reduce interfering signals in the cell phone reception, if necessary.
If the reception or the call quality is not improved or there are still audible interfering signals in the mobile phone reception, the
cell phone must be positioned the other way around, with the screen facing up, in the storage compartment for a better
connection.
Depending on the vehicle model and equipment and in some countries, the wireless charging function can charge multiple ce
phones simultaneously. If several cell phones are being charged at the same time, only one of the cell phones will connect to
the vehicle antenna.
Coupling, connecting and managing
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
and Safety instructions.
To use the phone interface functions, pair and connect a cell phone with the Infotainment system. Depending on the vehicle
equipment, you can connect up to two cell phones to the Infotainment system at the same time. However, only one device is
active at a time and can be used to make calls. The second connected device can receive calls via the Infotainment system
and be used to play media.
The following listed functions may not be available in all Infotainment systems in some countries and depending on the vehicle
equipment. The available functions depend on the cell phone used and its operating system.
Pairing a cell phone
Before connecting for the first time, you need to pair the cell phone with the Infotainment system. A user profile is then
automatically saved in the Infotainment system ⇒ Function descriptions. The coupling process may take a few minutes.
1. Activate Bluetooth in the cell phone.
2. Activate Bluetooth in the Infotainment system.
3. Open the list of available Bluetooth devices on your cell phone and select the device name for the Infotainment system.
4. Pay attention to messages on the cell phone and in the Infotainment system and confirm these if necessary.
If the pairing is successful, the data on the cell phone will be saved in the user profile.
5. Optional: Confirm the message for transferring the data on the cell phone.
WARNING
If you as the driver carry out the pairing when driving, this may cause accidents or injuries.
Only carry out the pairing as the driver when the vehicle is stationary.
