- Fig. 97 Mini SIM card (actual size)
If you make calls using a separate mini SIM card1), you can be reached on the telephone number of the mini SIM card in the SIM card reader. Depending on the type of mini SIM card, this may be the same number as for your current mobile phone contract (twin/Multi SIM card) or another number from a different mobile phone contract.
Important
The vehicle must be stationary, the ignition must be switched on and the Telephone menu must have been called up.
Using a separate SIM card
The missing corner of the mini SIM card should be at the front left. Slide the mini SIM card into the slot in the SIM card reader Fig. 97► until you feel it engage.
If requested, enter the PIN code for your mini SIM card in the MMI.
Select and confirm OK.
To allow the MMI to connect automatically in the future, select and confirm Yes.
Select and confirm either Telephone installed in vehicle (SIM card) or Personal mobile phone (Bluetooth).
After connecting successfully
After connecting successfully, one or two symbols (depending on the connection type) will appear in the status line of the infotainment display to indicate the signal strength -4-/-17- Fig. ►.
You can go back and change whether calls are made using the mini SIM card in the SIM card reader or your mobile phone via MENU > Settings > left control button > MMI settings > Connection manager link►.
In addition, the contacts on the mobile phone are automatically loaded into the directory of the MMI. This may take several minutes, depending on how many contacts are stored on the mobile phone.
Removing SIM card
Briefly press the mini SIM card. The card will then eject from the slot. Remove the mini SIM card.
- To avoid damaging the SIM card reader, only use mini SIM cards (25 mm x 15 mm) Fig. 97►. Please contact your service provider for more information on mini SIM cards.
- Should you have inserted a different SIM card size in the SIM card reader, do not under any circumstances attempt to remove it yourself as this may damage the SIM card reader. Please contact a qualified workshop.
- If you use SIM card adapters, the vibrations caused by the movement of the vehicle may cause the SIM card to become detached from the adapter - risk of damage to the SIM card reader.
Note
If your mobile phone does not support the remote SIM Access Profile (e.g. iPhone), you can use the contacts from your mobile phone by connecting the mobile phone to the system via the Directory/contacts profile link►.
