The call is shown on the screen of the mobile phone and at the same time this information is transmitted to the audio equipment.The audio equipment transmits the call tone to the sound system amplifier (N40/9) as a signal via the Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) (with code (EU9) Surround sound system (harman/kardon Logic 7)). The sound system amplifier receives the signal and emits the call tone via the speakers. At the same time, the audio source of the "audio unit" is muted (MUTE). The caller ID is shown in the display of the "audio equipment". In addition, the caller ID appears on the screen of the mobile phone and in the display of the instrument cluster.
If no sound system amplifier is installed, the speakers are controlled directly from the audio equipment.
Display of the incoming call on the display of the "audio equipment": Incoming telephone calls are signaled acoustically and visually in the display of the "audio equipment".
The telephone call can be accepted using the buttons on the mobile phone, the telephone buttons on the audio equipment, the multifunction steering wheel button groups or via the VCS [SBS] (with code (EU1) COMAND, APS).

This is achieved by taking the mobile phone out of the cradle during the phone call and thus disconnecting it from the audio equipment. The phone call is retained on the mobile phone and can be continued on this.
It is also possible to continue an existing phone call in handsfree mode by inserting the mobile phone back into the cradle.
If the mobile phone is operated via Bluetooth, then a new telephone call is established in "private mode", if dialing takes place via the keys on the mobile phone.

Bluetooth
Using Bluetooth, it is possible to connect modern communication devices, such as PDAs or laptops, to the phone system quickly and easily. Bluetooth is a worldwide open standard for connecting Bluetooth devices wirelessly and is based on radio technology in the 2.4 GHz range. One advantage of Bluetooth, next to the availability of Bluetooth devices that is already quite wide today, is the uncomplicated and spontaneous connection of Bluetooth devices to a Bluetooth network (ad-hoc network). The extremely high data security (128-bit encoding) and the relatively limited radius (approx. s = 10 m) of such a network is what makes the use of Bluetooth in the vehicle interesting.
Connecting Bluetooth devices
You can access the list of Bluetooth devices by selecting the following menus on the display of the "audio unit":
- System
- System settings
- Bluetooth
When the menu item "Search for Bluetooth devices" is selected, a list of the already recognized Bluetooth devices is displayed. This is where you can select and authorize the desired Bluetooth device. If the required Bluetooth device is not included in the list, you can search for further Bluetooth-capable units via the "Update" menu item.
