Updating the digital map Introduction The digital maps generated by the map soft- ware become outdated in the same way as conventional road maps. Optimal route guid- ance can only be provided by the navigation system in conjunction with the most up-to- date map software. Information about new versions of the digital map can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. You can have the digital map updated there with a DVD, or you can update it yourself. In some countries, it is possible to update the map data for COMAND Online free of charge for a period of 3 years. Information on the availability of this service for your vehicle can be obtained from your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. If the free update is not avail- able in your country, please read the "Updat- ing process" section. Entitlement to the free update For the first three years after your vehicle is registered, you are entitled to all available updates to the map software for COMAND Online. They are usually installed during a regular vehicle service. After this period, you can purchase further updates from your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The free updates relate to the vehicle and not to an individual. If there is a change of own- ership within 3 years of first registration, the new owner is entitled to the map software updates.
Availability of free updates Enter your e-mail address at http:// www.mercedes-benz-accessories.com/ comand-infomail. You will receive a one-off e- mail containing information on how to update the map software. Go to http:// www.mercedes-benz-accessories.com/ navigation-updates also, to find out if map software updates for your vehicle are availa- ble at your Mercedes-Benz partner.

(standard equipment and optional equip- ment in conjunction with fittings for con- venience telephony and mobile phone brackets)
Rconvenience telephony (only in conjunc-
tion with fittings for convenience telephony and mobile phone brackets)
Rpermanently installed/SAP telephony (only in conjunction with fittings for convenience
telephony and data-enabled MB SAP mod- ule)
In telephony via Bluetooth® interface mode, the mobile phone is connected directly to COMAND Online via Bluetooth®. Enhancing this operating mode with the optional convenience telephony fittings and the mobile phone bracket allows you to: Rconnect the mobile phone to the exterior
aerial on the vehicle
Rcharge the mobile phone In convenience telephony mode, the mobile phone is connected to the mobile phone bracket. Depending on the mobile phone bracket fit- ted, the connection is established: Rby inserting the mobile phone into the
mobile phone bracket
Rvia a Bluetooth® connection between the
mobile phone and the mobile phone bracket.

i SAP telephony is described in separate
operating instructions.
Rconnecting Bluetooth®-capable mobile
phones to COMAND Online
Telephone 379
When connecting Bluetooth®-capable mobile phones with PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile) or a convenience telephone, the con- tacts are automatically downloaded to COMAND Online. Basic telephony, in conjunction with a Blue- tooth®-capable mobile phone, enables you to make calls via the Bluetooth interface. With a suitable mobile phone, you can use the hands-free system and receive vCards via the Bluetooth® interface. If your vehicle is equipped with convenience telephony, you can obtain mobile phone brackets for specific mobile phones at your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre and have them installed in the armrest. The mobile phone battery is charged in the bracket and a connection is made to the vehi- cle's exterior aerial. Using a suitable mobile phone, the hands-free system is available with convenience teleph- ony. You can use the text message function (receive and read) under the following condi- tions: Rthe mobile phone bracket and the mobile phone support the function (convenience telephony).
Rthe mobile phone supports the MAP Blue- tooth® profile (Message Access Profile), (basic telephony).
i Even if your vehicle is equipped with con-
venience telephony, you can connect a Bluetooth®-capable mobile phone with COMAND Online via the Bluetooth® inter- face.
