A mobile communication device (e.g. a handheld telephone device) has a first wireless transceiver for communications via a wireless communication network and a second wireless transceiver for communications with a wireless peripheral device (e.g. a wireless audio headset or earpiece). The mobile device receives, from the wireless peripheral, an identification of a type or model of the wireless peripheral. The mobile device causes user interface (UI) function mapping information of the wireless peripheral to be selectively retrieved based on the received identification of the type or model. The UI function mapping information is indicative of a plurality of device functions assigned to a plurality of user input controls of the wireless peripheral. UI instruction information which is based on the retrieved UI function mapping information is then displayed at the mobile device. For example, when an incoming call is received, UI instruction information which identifies a first user input control for causing the incoming call to be answered and a second user input control for causing the incoming call to be ignored is displayed. The UI function mapping information may be selectively retrieved by transmitting, via the first wireless transceiver, a request which indicates the type or model of the wireless peripheral, for receipt by a server having different sets of UI function mapping information stored in association with a plurality of different types or models of wireless peripherals.
