Accept call and reject call with the mobile phone system, general
The user can set up a telephone connection for initiating or terminating a call to another person in the cellular telephone system or fixed-line network. The following components are available for operating the mobile phone system:
- Control buttons on the mobile phone
- Function keys and keypad on the audio equipment
- Audio/COMAND control panel (A40/9)
- Right multifunction steering wheel button group (S111)
- Voice control system (VCS [SBS]) (with code (511) Audio 50 APS with DVD changer or code (527) COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation) or code (512) COMAND APS with DVD changer)
The mobile phone receives incoming calls via the following route:
- Multifunction antenna (A28/11)
- Direct line
- Cradle
On vehicles with code (386) Comfort telephony and code (228) Stationary heater, the mobile phone receives incoming calls via the following route:
- Multifunction antenna
- Direct line and mobile phone and stationary heater radio remote control antenna splitter (A2/53)
- Direct line and antenna amplifier/cellular telephone system compensator (A28/3)
- Direct line
- Cradle
On vehicles without code (386) Comfort telephony, the mobile phone receives the call signal via the mobile phone's own antenna.
The call signal is then forwarded to the audio equipment via the following route:
- Bluetooth antenna (A2/91)
- Direct line
Incoming calls are signaled acoustically at the speaker system and visually in the Audio/COMAND display (A40/8) as well as in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1).
The audio equipment actuates the Audio/COMAND display over the low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) line.
The data required for displaying in the multifunction display are sent by the audio equipment over the interior CAN (CAN B) to the instrument cluster.
The mobile phone display shows information on the caller, which is forwarded by the mobile phone to the audio equipment via the following route:
- Cradle
- Bluetooth module
- Bluetooth antenna
- Direct line
Telephone calls can be made in accordance with the vehicle equipment in hands-free mode (without code (386) Comfort telephony) or in "Private mode" (with code (386) Comfort telephony).
In hands-free mode, audio output takes place via the speaker system of the vehicle. A currently active audio source is muted (MUTE).
On vehicles without code (810) Sound system, the corresponding audio signals are output over the following speakers:
- Left door tweeter (H4/1h1)
- Left door bass speaker (H4/1h2)
- Right door tweeter (H4/2h1)
- Right door bass speaker (H4/2h2)
On vehicles with code (810) Sound system, the audio equipment sends the audio signals through the Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) to the sound system amplifier control unit (N40/3), which then amplifies them and outputs them over the following speakers:
- Door tweeter
- Door bass speaker
- Center instrument panel speaker (H4/27)
In "Private Mode" the user makes a telephone call without other vehicle occupants being able to hear the telephone conversation. "Private mode" is activated when the mobile phone is removed from the cradle. The handsfree mode is deactivated.
The accept call and reject call function is made up of the following subfunctions:
^ Function sequence for accepting call
^ Function sequence for rejecting call
