Address book supplemental information
The user can manage all the contact data in the address book (view, edit, add, delete and create). The address book contains the address entries stored in the COMAND controller unit. A mobile phone connected to the connector can also load data (names and standard numbers) from the mobile phone's telephone book into the COMAND controller unit's address book.
The data from the mobile phone's telephone book is also permanently available, even when the mobile phone is no longer attached to the connector.
Address entries can only be removed by deleting individual entries or by deleting the entire address book.
The Bluetooth interface of the mobile phone and the Bluetooth antenna (A2/91) can be used to transmit data from other external devices (e.g. PDA, laptop, etc.) into the address book. The COMAND controller unit's PCMCIA slot can be used to transfer vCards from a PCMCIA card into the address book. These data are then permanently available as address entries. Address-relevant mobile phone system applications can be directly started and supplied with the stored data via address book entries. Address entries can contain the following information:
- Names (surname and first name)
- Postal addresses (private or business)
- Telephone numbers (private, business, fixed-line network, mobile or car)
- 2 email addresses
- One URL address
- Geo position (private or business)
- Company name
- Notes
- URL
A total of 150 entries with voice commands (voice tags) is available for the voice control system. The address book displays the address entries stored in the COMAND controller unit and the data loaded from the mobile phone's telephone book.
