Does anyone know how to enable the phone in STAR?

Wondering if anyone knows how to enable the telephone in STAR?

Some background on why I ask: My car originally came with Audio 20. I installed COMAND with no issues, then added the CD changer into the fiber optic loop so I could use a Bluetooth adapter for phone and music streaming, My COMAND suffered a navigation drive failure, so I pulled it out temporarily and went back to the Audio 20 head unit. All of the sudden, the car recognizes it has a phone. All the steering wheel buttons work for answer/hangup. I can dial from the radio keypad, etc.

When I reinstalled (and upgraded) my COMAND unit, that functionality disappeared. So it apparently has something to do with the head unit. I don't see any options in XENTRY/DAS to enable the telephone.

Poking around in DAS this morning, the only thing I could find is iPod/Telephone in Instrument Cluster which is already enabled. Nothing in Navigation or COMAND through DAS. Do I need developer mode?

My memory is shot as to how I did it, as I also did the NAVI upgrade and have factory OEM bluetooth telephone. But I searched my documents and came across this... https://www.dropbox.com/s/4z0r5n36qc...0info.pdf?dl=0

I remember having to configure the MOST ring. That document covers w203.
