Speed Dial????

Can someone please tell me where in the instructions it talks about programming the speed dial entries on the numeric pad on the console?

When I hold down a number for speed dial to activate it just gives me an alert that says that that entry has not been programmed. I can't figure out how to program the digit. I cant find anything about it in the owners manuel and I've looked several times.

FYI: I have an iphone 4s

Thanks in advance,

e

You don't have to do anything special to set up speed dial. It comes from the phone. Check your phone settings. Have you transferred your contact book to Comand ?

My iPhone has a "Favorites" list as a speed dial resource. It is its own menu. I have that full. It does not have a speed dial that is assigned to a numeric key. Maybe that is the problem. I wonder if there is a way around this.

Got it figured out:

There is a menu in the command system. If you go into the phone menu, there is a selection for speed dial. It is a display of the assignments for each speed dial. If you open the item, there is a small icon to the right that looks like a page. Scroll to that page and it will let you assign your speed dials to your contact lists. This is independent of the any favorites or speed dial assignments that are stored in the phone itself. Also figured out that if you use the command dial to scroll to a digit and hold down the command knob, it will dial the speed number.

Pretty Neat!!

I stumbled onto a short-cut to access your list of favorite telephone numbers stored on your iPhone. When in the phone screen on the MB Comand system, simply press and hold the numeric pad key corresponding to the favorite on your iPhone. For example, my home number is the first number on my iPhone favorites list and my wife's cell is second, and so on. To call my wife's cell, I just have to press and hold the number 2 button on the Comand system. To call home, I press and hold the number 1 button

This doesnt work at all. I found this thread in my search for an answer. Tried it and it was a bogus suggestion (at least for a 2012 E550)

Ah, sorry, missed that you had a 2012. It does work as advertised in my 2011...
