Starting playback over the vehicle loudspeakers
The steps to follow after starting Bluetooth audio transmission depend on
whether automatic playback is activated in
Setup Media

function button is deactivated, you need to
switch to Bluetooth audio mode manually.

After the Bluetooth audio transmission has started, the
function but-
ton is displayed in the top screen line of the Audio menu with a coloured
frame.
●
Press the
function button to start playback via the vehicle loudspeak-
ers.
The unit switches to Bluetooth audio mode and playback over the vehicle
speakers starts.
If the
Bluetooth audio autoplay
function button is active, the unit always
switches to Bluetooth audio mode automatically when playback is started
on the media player that is connected via Bluetooth.
When playback on the connected media player is stopped, the unit remains
in Bluetooth audio mode.
Controlling playback
The extent to which the Bluetooth audio source can be controlled via the ra-
dio-navigation system depends on the connected Bluetooth audio source.
With media players that support the AVRCP Bluetooth profile, playback on
the Bluetooth audio source can be automatically started or stopped when
the unit is switched to Bluetooth audio mode or to a different audio source.
It may also be possible to display tracks or change tracks via the arrow but-
tons on the radio-navigation system

Note
Due to the large number of possible Bluetooth audio sources, it is not pos-
sible to guarantee fault-free operation of all described functions.
Note
Always switch off the warning and service tones on a connected Bluetooth
audio source, e.g. key tones on a mobile telephone, to prevent interference
noise and malfunctions.
Note
Do not connect an external media player to the radio-navigation system for
playing back music
simultaneously
via Bluetooth and via the MEDIA-IN mul-
timedia interface
⇒
page 44 as this could lead to limitations in playback.
Note
There may be restrictions on the use of Bluetooth devices in some coun-
tries. Information is available from the local authorities.
