The Audio/COMAND control panel is located on the center console. As the main control panel, the Audio/COMAND control panel includes the Audio/COMAND controller (A40/9s11), which makes navigation in menus and lists, the selection of display-generated buttons (Softkeys) and the entry of characters possible by rotating, pushing and pressing.

Rotating the volume adjustment button in a vertical direction (up or down) adjusts the volume. Pressing the volume adjustment button mutes the audio source (mute function).

IMPORTANT The Audio/COMAND control panel does not have any keys that can be configured by the user (Favorite keys).

Telephone keypad 

The telephone keypad is located in the hand rest of the center console and is equipped with a heated cover that must be opened before use. The telephone keypad consists of a 12-key keypad, a button for accepting phone calls/dialing, a "CLEAR" button for deleting entries, a button for rejecting phone calls/hanging up and a star button for switching to the favorites function.

IMPORTANT Outside the "Telephone" menu the telephone keypad can be used for different functions depending on the context. The key assignments appear on the Audio/COMAND display when the keys are pressed.

Voice control system (VCS [SBS]) 

The voice control system (VCS [SBS]) is switched on using the voice control system on button (S111s4) and off using the voice control system off button (S110s2). When the voice control system is switched on, the functions of the driver information system can be operated using voice commands in dialog with the VCS. The voice control system can be operated by spelling out or entering complete words.

The multifunction steering wheel button groups are located on the multifunction steering wheel, and they can be used to operate the functions of the driver information system without taking the hands off the steering wheel.

Operation takes place using a 12-key keypad, buttons and the rotating control, the navigation buttons and the "OK" button, which emulate the control functions of the Audio/COMAND controller of the Audio/COMAND control panel. An LED status indicator indicates the functional capability of the remote control and successful transmission of the control signals.

IMPORTANT The remote control must be paired with the COMAND controller unit COMAND (connected).

Application program for mobile phone (App) (accessories) 

If the user has installed the application program enabled for his/her vehicle on his/her mobile phone, he/she can operate the functions defined in the application program via the mobile phone. The control signals are received by the WLAN antenna (A2/83) and forwarded to the COMAND controller unit.

All buttons of the telephone keypad with the exception of the star button can be used as favorite buttons, i.e. freely assigned by the user. The assignment of the favorite buttons is shown on the Audio/COMAND display. The assignment of a favorite button that has been touched by the user (but not yet pressed) is highlighted on the Audio/COMAND display.
