- with CODE (498) Japan version
The Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) mobile telephone standard is used for vehicles sold on the Japanese market. A (PDC) portable CTEL bracket is installed in the driver information system of the vehicle. In order to use the cellular telephone function, the user must insert a portable CTEL (A34/6) that is compatible with the Japanese (PDC) cellular telephone system into the (PDC) portable CTEL bracket. The portable CTEL (A34/6) is connected to a standard connection for PDC cellular phones and is thus connected directly to the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3). A serial data line is used to exchange control and data signals between the portable CTEL (A34/6) and the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3). The portable CTEL bracket (PDC) is installed in the telephone compartment of the center console below the armrest. The portable CTEL (A34/6) must be inserted in the portable CTEL bracket (PDC) before the user can make or receive a telephone call.
Telephone numbers can be displayed and selected using the portable CTEL (A34/6) or the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3), which also stores the phone directories and all service and e-mail data.
As well as the telephone functions, the "Internet" (with e-mail), "24- hour service" and "i-mode" (optional) functions are available. The "i- mode" function is mobile Internet technology. The functions are displayed in the upper multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1), on the display of the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3) and on the portable CTEL display (A34/6).
It is not possible to talk in private mode when the portable CTEL (A34/6) is in its bracket. The Internet function and service functions are only available when the vehicle is stationary and the parking brake is applied.

Voice operation using the Voice Control System (VCS)
The voice control system is intended to assist the driver during a journey by giving him/her access to a series of functions, without diverting his/her attention from the road, and providing an intuitive control system. The voice control system is controlled using the software integrated in the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3).
The user can activate the voice control using the VCS switch (S93/2). A signal that is generated in the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3), is heard when the voice control system is operational. The user can then communicate with the "VCS" system, which currently only supports the Japanese language.
The following components can be controlled via the "VCS" system:
^ Telephone components
^ Audio and video components
^ Navigation components
^ Help function (with commands displayed on the display of the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3)).
On Japanese cellular telephones, the number, name and a phonetic spelling of the name are stored in the phone directory. If the phone directory is transferred to the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3), all the directory entries are available immediately, also for the voice control system.
If problems occur with the command input by the user, the system responds with an appropriate command. This command is generated in the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3) and output via the audio gateway control unit (N93/1) and vehicle speakers.
