^ Compatible mobile phone connected to the Japan electrical connector adapter cable or Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone in the vehicle and authorized on the COMAND controller unit (A40/3)
The Japan electrical connector adapter cable is used to connect the various mobile phones to the communications control unit.
A Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone can only be operated in the vehicle when a mobile phone is not connected to the cell phone separation point or the adapter cable.
In order to be able to operate a Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone that is authorized on the "audio equipment" in the vehicle, the mobile phone must support hands-free profile (HFP) 1.0 or 1.5. More information can be found at:

General
The mobile phone system allows mobile phones operating with the Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) or Freedom of Mobile Multimedia Access (FOMA) networks to be operated in the vehicle.
The mobile phone system consists of the following subfunctions, which are described in separate documents
^ Switching on and off characteristics
^ Establishing call and terminating call
^ Accepting calls, rejecting calls and toggling
^ Electronic mail (email)
^ Voice control
The mobile phone system includes the following subfunctions:
^ Address Book
^ "Private mode"
^ "Seamless switch"
^ Toggling
The system is described using a mobile phone connected to the Japan electrical connector adapter cable as an example. Deviations from this are indicated with the symbol.
Address Book
The user can manage all the contact data in the address book (view, edit, add, delete and create). The address book contains the address entries stored in the COMAND controller unit. With a mobile phone connected to the Japan electrical connector adapter cable, data (names and standard numbers) can also be loaded from the phone book of the mobile phone into the address book of the COMAND controller unit.
The data from the phone book of the mobile phone is also permanently available, even if the mobile phone is no longer attached to the Japan electrical connector adapter cable. Address entries can only be removed by deleting individual entries or by deleting the entire address book. The Bluetooth interface of the mobile phone and the Bluetooth antenna (A2/91) can be used to transmit data from other external devices (e.g. PDA, laptop, etc.) into the address book. The PCMCIA slot on the COMAND controller unit can be used to transfer vCards from a PCMCIA card into the address book.
These data are then permanently available as address entries. Address-relevant mobile phone system applications can be directly started and supplied with the stored data via address book entries. Address entries can contain the following:
- Names (surname and first name)
- Postal addresses (private or business)
- Telephone numbers (private, business, fixed line network, mobile or car)
- 2 email addresses
- URL address
- Geo position (private or business)
- Company name
- Notes
150 entries can be provided with voice commands (voice tags) for the voice control system (VCS). The address book displays the address entries stored in the COMAND controller unit and the data loaded from the mobile phone's telephone book.
With a mobile phone operated with Bluetooth, read access to the telephone book in the mobile phone is possible when the mobile phone supports the Bluetooth Profile Phonebook Access Profile (PBAP).
"Private mode"
When in "Private mode", the user can make a telephone call without other vehicle occupants being able to hear the conversation. To make a call in "Private Mode", one of the following processes must be completed:
- Disconnection of mobile phone from Japan electrical connector adapter cable during a telephone call in hands- free mode
- Call acceptance in hands-free mode and subsequent activation of "Private Mode" menu item via the Audio/ COMAND control panel (A40/9) and the Audio/COMAND display (A40/8) when the mobile phone is disconnected from the Japan adapter cable electrical connector and operated via Bluetooth
- Establishing a call using buttons on mobile phone when mobile phone is disconnected from Japan electrical connector adapter cable and operated via Bluetooth
With a mobile phone operated with Bluetooth, the phone call is completed in "Private mode" if the mobile phone supports "Private mode" and "Private mode" is activated.
"Seamless switch"
"Seamless switch" means either than an existing call to the mobile phone is held when the phone is separated from the Japan electrical connector adapter cable or that an existing call is routed to the COMAND controller unit when the mobile phone is connected to the Japan electrical connector adapter cable.
Toggling
The user can switch back and forth between telephone calls with 2 people. While the user talks to one person on the line, the connection to the other is put on hold. However, voice transmission is interrupted.
