Connecting an external device
Do not leave external devices in the
vehicle as extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight or extremely low outside
temperatures) could cause them to
malfunction (see the operating instructions
for the respective device). Mercedes-Benz
USA, LLC accepts no liability for damage to
external devices.
Never connect more than one device at a
time. You will otherwise not be able to
operate the external device.

Connect the external device with suitable
socket 1, 2 or 3.
COMAND activates the device automatically for sockets 2 and 3.
COMAND does not activate the device automatically for socket 1.

If you remove a device from sockets 2 and 3, the No device connected message appears.
A connected iPod® or MP3 player should
not be simultaneously operated via the
Media Interface and the remote control
(e.g. Bluetooth® remote control), as this
may produce unpredictable results.
Connecting a fully discharged iPod® or
MP3 player can result in an extended
initialization period.
Error messages appear while the device is
being activated if:
• COMAND does not support the device connected.
• two devices are connected.
• the connected device consumes too much power.
• the Media Interface connection is faulty.
Consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center if required.
