4. Installing the main unit
Locate your cradle and carefully place the main
unit inside the cradle until the unit is firmly
attached to it. If your cradle is a 6150 type you
will need to plug the dummy antenna on top of
the MBU-3000’s dummy antenna port before
you attach the unit to the cradle.
5. Microphone volume setting
There are mainly two types of original microphone settings that come
with your car. To work at the optimum performance it is required to
identify the type of microphone you have and adjust the microphone
level accordingly.
For single microphone vehicles:
If you have a single microphone you will need to decrease the
microphone volume by turning the knob downwards to the lower end:
For multiple microphone vehicles:
If you have multiple microphones you will probably need to increase
the microphone volume by turning the knob upwards to the top end:
Once you have set up the microphone level you must soft reset
MBU-3000 to allow the setting to become effective (Please refer to
“
Section 15. Soft Reset” for further information).

ViseeO MBU-3000 should appear on the mobile phone. Select the
device to pair and enter the password “1234” when prompted a
passcode request. Once connected, the Bluetooth connection
indicator turns solid white to indicate the connection has been
established. You will also see the car audio system showing “In
Service” or “ViseeO” which means you are now ready to use
handsfree from your Comand console.

priority always goes to the most recent connected phone and lowest
priority to the earliest connected one. If no more pairing space is
available the fifth paired phone MBU-3000 will erase the pairing that

If you have more than one phone paired you can quickly switch
between the paired phones using the Quick Phone Switch button on
MBU-3000. To switch between phones press the button to switch to

10. Making and Receiving a Phone Call
Once you have connected your phone with MBU-3000 you will be able
to make or receive a phone call using the Comand console’s keypads
or the keypads on your steering wheel if your vehicle supports it. To
make a phone call, please make sure Comand console displays “In
Service” or “ViseeO” on the original display. Dial the telephone using
the keypads on your Comand console and press down the Rotation
knob or Call button to dial out. Alternatively you can access the
phonebook and select a desired phonebook entry to dial out if you
have already completed phonebook synchronization on MBU-3000.
(Please refer to “
Section 11. Phonebook Synchronization ” for further
information).
11. Phonebook Synchronization
If your phone supports the phonebook sync protocol provided by
MBU-3000 you will be able to take the advantage of the automatic
phonebook upload function. The phonebook sync process is divided
into two stages:
1. From mobile phone to MBU-3000
2. From MBU-3000 to Comand console.
The Rotation
Knob

MBU-3000 User Instruction
13
As soon as your phone is connected with MBU-3000 it will upload
contacts in your phone memory to the MBU-3000’s memory. When
this process is completed MBU-3000 will then transfer the contacts
to the Comand console. This will cause a temporary disconnection
between MBU-3000 and Comand console (you will see a message
such as ‘Please insert telephone’ or ‘TEL Error’, etc. on the screen)
please just wait until the connection comes back. As soon as the
connection is re-established MBU-3000 will begin to transfer the
contacts from its memory to your Comand console and you can
check whether the transfer is done by accessing the phonebook
function on the Mercedes display to see if the contact emerges.
To access your phonebook, simply press TEL button on the Comand
console. Then, select Phonebook to enter TEL Phonebook menu and
Press Read Phonebook to enter the phonebook list. Search the name
using the navigation buttons (or rotation knob) on your Comand
console. To call out, simply press the knob or select the Call button
on the Comand console to call out.
Note on Independent Phonebook:
Each phone has its own phone book profile, which means when
phone A connects user will not be able to access Phone B’s uploaded
contacts and vice versa when Phone B is in connection. Each
individual phonebook can hold up to 256 or 400 telephone numbers
entries depending on the chosen software setting on the MBU-3000
(see note below for further information).
Note:
 To access phonebook you must wait for the phonebook sync to be completed. If
Comand console does not allow you to choose the Phonebook option that means
phonebook sync is still in progress.
 Some phones may not support automatic phonebook synchronization. If your phone
does not synchronize after establishing the connection with MBU-3000 please always
check if MBU-3000’s Phonebook SYNC function is ON first (see “Section 13 Sync
On/Off” for further information). If this function is already on and you are still unable to
sync it is very likely that your phone does not support MBU-3000’s phonebook sync
protocol. You can check your phone model against MBU-3000’s compatibility list
available at ViseeO’s website.

MBU-3000 User Instruction

 Phonebook sync speed varies between phone models and size of the phonebook. For
some phones, the synchronization to MBU-3000 is almost instant but for others it may
take longer.
 The transfer from MBU-3000 to the Comand console may take a while depending on the
phonebook size. Once transfer is completed you will be able to see the phonebook
entries when accessing the TEL Phonebook screen.
 Contacts are sent in the order according to the phone's memory slot distribution via
Bluetooth. Different head units will have different way of sorting the phonebook
nonetheless, you will be able to quickly access the contact entry you desired by
searching through the alphabetic index.
 Auto sync will only sync the phonebook entries stored in phone memory. If you wish to
sync the phonebook stored in the SIM card please copy the contact entries to your phone
memory and sync again (by pressing the Soft Reset button).
 Depending on the MBU-3000’s software selected, for each paired phone you will be able
to transfer up to 256 (Software A) or 400 (Software B) entries to the Comand console
from MBU-3000. If your phone has more than 256 (or 400) entries Comand console will
randomly pick up 256 (or 400) entries to be displayed on your screen. You can use the
Phonebook Type Management function to filter out the numbers you do not want to view
and select only the most desired telephone numbers to show on the Comand console
display (please see “Section 12 Phonebook Type Management” for further information).
 When transferring phonebooks from a Samsung Galaxy Phones (W, R, S2, and etc.) or
some other Android phones you will be asked whether to accept an outside access to
your phonebook (normally this is notified by your phone’s notification bar at the top of
the display). You will need to accept the access to your phonebook on your phone in order
to allow the sync to proceed (This can be done by dragging down the notification bar
when your phone alerts you that an outside device is trying to access your phonebook,
and then select this notification to accept). If you are not sure how to use the notification
bar please refer to your phone manual for further information.
12. Phonebook Type Management
Most phonebook functions on smartphones allow user to organize
contact numbers into various types of telephone numbers. For
instance, home, mobile, fax or work. MBU-3000 allows user to select
the desired types of phonebook to upload into the Comand console.
This function will be particularly useful for user with a large phonebook
in the mobile phone as they can assign a certain phonebook type to
the most essential phone numbers, for instance, Mobile type. On your

MBU-3000 User Instruction

MBU-3000 choose “Mobile type” to be the phonebook type for sync
and MBU-3000 will only send the entries that are assigned with
mobile type to be display on the original Comand console screen.
There are 3 combinations of phonebook types you can select from:
1. All type – means to upload all phonebooks regardless of their
type.
2. Mobile type – means to upload Mobile type of telephone
number only.
3. Mobile+Work type – means to upload both Mobile and Work
types of numbers.
To select the phonebook type, simply press the Phonebook Type
button on MBU-3000 to select between three phonebook types. If
Mobile type is chosen the Green LED light will be on. If Mobile + Work
type is chosen the Blue LED light will be on. If All type is chosen both

MBU-3000 and Comand console. After the connection is re-established please wait
until transfer is completed before accessing the phonebook
Tips: If you wish to exclude some contacts from the phonebook displayed on the Mercedes
screen then simply edit these numbers on your mobile phone or outlook program and
categorize them in the phonebook types other than the ones you want to select for auto sync.
As Comand console can only accept up to 256 or 400 entries to load into its system, you can
select the most important numbers to load into Comand console using this feature especially
if you have a large quantity of phonebook entries stored on your phone memory.
13. Sync On/Off
As MBU-3000 will sync your phonebook every time when the
connection with the phone is re-established you may not want
MBU-3000 to perform this function every time you re-enter your
vehicle. You can therefore, switch off the automatic sync function on
your MBU-3000 by pressing the Phonebook Type button for 5 seconds
until you see the white LED light disappears. To switch it on again,
press the Phonebook type button for 5 seconds until you see the white
LED light becomes solid white.
