Can I still use the car’s mobile phone
preparation without a Bluetooth®-enabled
mobile phone?
No, unfortunately this is not possible.
Can I use the mobile phone preparation with
any Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phone?
Your mobile phone must support the Bluetooth®
Handsfree Profile (HFP).
Why do mobile phones differ in terms of
their operation or functions?
The implementation of the Bluetooth® standard
tends to vary among manufacturers and models,
and even in different firmware versions for the
same phone. As a result, your mobile phone’s
behaviour when used in the car may differ from
that of other mobile phones and you may not
be able to use all the options provided by your
CDR/PCM with mobile phone preparation.
Why is a mobile phone’s firmware such an
important factor?
Often, new mobile phone firmware versions
not only offer new functions, but also fix bugs
present in previous firmware versions. You
should therefore make sure that the firmware
on your phone is as up-to-date as possible.
Can I disable my mobile phone’s visibility
after the pairing process?
Yes. Visibility is only required for pairing, which
needs to be carried out only once before the
first connection. Visibility can be enabled and
disabled under ‘PHONE/OPTION/SET PHONE/
Bluetooth settings’.
Can I pair a second phone with the car?
Yes. Before pairing a second Bluetooth® phone,
however, you should terminate the connection
with your current device.
Do I need a cradle to use my phone with the
car’s mobile phone preparation?
To use your Bluetooth® mobile phone with the
car’s mobile phone preparation, no mobile phone
cradle is strictly required. Nevertheless, the use
of a mobile phone cradle is recommended
because phone signal reception will be improved
by the connection to the car’s external aerial,
and the car will keep the mobile phone’s battery
charged.
What happens when there are several mobile
phones in the car at the same time?
The car’s mobile phone preparation can only
be connected to one phone at a time. You can,
however, pair up to five devices in the car and
then actively switch between these devices.
When the system starts up, it automatically
searches for the most recently connected
mobile phone. If it does not find this device
within 15 seconds, the system then searches
for the other paired phones.
