Overview of transferred vehicle data
When using Smartphone Integration, certain vehi-

enables you to get the best out of selected mobile
phone services. Vehicle data is not directly acces-
sible.
The following system information is transmitted:

The transfer of this data is used to optimize com-
munication between the vehicle and the mobile
phone.
To do this, and to assign several vehicles to the
mobile phone, a vehicle identifier is randomly gen-
erated.
This has no connection to the vehicle identifica-
tion number (VIN) and is deleted when the multi-
media system is reset (
