2008 Mercedes Benz CL550 & iPhone 5 Compatibility

I have an iPhone 5 and use Spotify often... Does anyone know how the '08 CL550 interfaces? Would be curious to know what I can and cannot do, and what equipment I should look at buying.
Bluetooth work?
USB/hardwire work?
Spotify work?
Can you control using OEM MB stuff (i.e. steering wheel controls)?
Do song names appear?
Thanks guys.

You need to make sure the vehicle supports the correct Bluetooth profile for streaming music. Check this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647 for iPhone information. Check the owner's manual for the vehicle and/or go to the MB website and see if the particular radio device supports this.

  • 2008 BMW 535i and iphone 4 compatibility?

    Recently acquired a 2008 BMW 535i with iDrive.  I can pair my iphone 4 to the bluetooth, but it seems to have limited functionality.  Anyone know if the iphone 4 is fully compatible with 2008 BMW?

    I have a 2007 Explorer and have a male male adaptor that I can plug into my aux line. It works great. I play the ipod feature through my stereo system. I can also answer my phone and talk through the stereo system. I do not have a problem hearing, but the person on the other end often complains of an echo.

  • Pairing iPhone5S with 2008 Mercedes Benz

    Trying to pair a new iPhone 5S with a 2008 E350 / BT Puck.  Caoomand searches, very briefly shows a connect and then indicates "phone off".  Any solutions that work out there?

    Hey angiethompson40,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Have you tried pairing another Bluetooth device with the BlackBerry Z10?  Also what version of BlackBerry 10 software are you running?  Go to Settings>About to find this information.
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • FYI: 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    Just brought the new toy home today... the car not the phone
    ...the Bluetooth functionality of the vehicle works perfectly with the new '08 C-Class. But with a few snags...
    I experienced a slight difficulty in pairing the two devices... when I sent the car to go pair with the phone, it was unsuccessful. However, when I had the phone request to pair with the MB unit, the pairing was successful.
    Just thought this might be useful for anyone else getting one of these new cars.
    The final issue appears though as if you cannot populate the car's 'phone book' manually. It receives VCF contacts via bluetooth. I don't think the iPhone supports transmitting these, correct me if I'm wrong. My work around though, was to transmit the appropriate contacts from my old RAZR.

    Congrats on the new car
    I just bought the new Infiniti G37, and tried to import my contacts as you did, using a different phone. My problem is, the G37 recognizes up to 8 cell phones, and each one has its own address book. So my contacts don't appear for the iPhone. My only resort was to manually add them.
    What the iPhone really needs is the ability to transfer contacts via BT. That would probably solve both of our issues.

  • Mercedes-Benz offers iPhone full integration cradle

    Mercedes has acknowledged Apple's current (and in all probability future) dominance in the mobile arena, so much so that they have unveiled a new cradle specifically for the device.
    http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Jun08/19001204_Mercedes_Benz_Hearts_The_iPod_New_Cradle_Allows_Further_Integration_Into_ The_VehicleArchitecture.html
    Has anyone tried one of these, any problems?

    Will it pair when not in the cradle? What I mean is, have you tried pairing the phone to the cradle, but not placing the phone in the cradle? Once paired this way, then place the phone in the cradle, see if it's still paired, then remove and see if it remains paired. If it doesn't, could be the phone is treating the crade as two separate devices. If it's doing that, by design, it will only pair with one at a time.

  • My iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. does not work with the mercedes benz media interface

    I just installed the IOS 5.1.1 on my iphone 4 but it doesn´t work anymore with the Mercedes Benz (2010) media interface, some help!

    Resetting the Network Settings worked to fix my problem as others have suggested.   
    To help answer dinpa59, bechic, and others if needed you do the following:
    Select your SETTINGS icon. 
    Select GENERAL
    Scroll to the bottom and select RESET.
    Select RESET NETWORK SETTINGS. 
    This will completely erase your bluetooth setup as well as other WIFI network associatiotions.  These will all need to be re-paired and passwords entered for WIFI again once this is done.
    THIS SHOULD FIX BLUETOOTH ISSUE.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPhone and Mercedes Benz hands-free bluetooth

    Greetings,
    Have you tried to connect your iPhone to Mercedes Benz bluetooth-based hands free system?
    Can you make/receive calls? Can you sync your address book?
    Any information is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have the MB Multi Handset Interface with the latest Bluetooth "puck". Pairs fine, voice quality decent.
    One nice bonus is how fast the contact directory loads now. With a V600 directly in the cradle(no BT) it could take up to five minutes to load about 30 contacts. With the iPhone usings BT it loads four times as many contacts in just seconds.
    As far as reconnecting when getting back in the car, mine always reconnects and at least loads the recents, but not always the directory, unless the iPhone is fully on.
    Has anyone found a good way to check voicemail within this setup? I haven't fugured out how to connect to vmail via the MB controls. Or, if I connect using the iPhone directly, I cannot get the audio to play through the MB.
    Also, have you noticed what happens when you try the old speed dial function through the MB keypad?

    I'm planning to purchase the 6 plus, but I need to know from where.whom will the fix for this problem emerge.

    My new iPhone 6 paired perfectly with my Mercedes system.  That said, on your iPhone 5, reset your network settings and then try to pair it again.

  • IPhone cradle for Mercedes Benz

    I have bought the original Mercedes-Benz iPhone 3G cradle. I have followed the instructions to pair the iPhone with the Cradle (without the phone being in the cradle and entering the 62872 code).
    It all works well - but only if the iPhone is IN the cradle - I can't get it to connect if the iPhone is in my pocket? Bluetooth is being used do I don't really understand why it would only work in the cradle?
    Any ideas?
    *Cradle model:*
    SKU: MB-BT-IPHONE3G-CRADLE
    A2048203951

    Will it pair when not in the cradle? What I mean is, have you tried pairing the phone to the cradle, but not placing the phone in the cradle?

  • Bluetooth issue with iPhone 4 and Mercedes Benz

    I just received my iphone 4 today and it has a huge problem. When my previous iPhone 3GS was paired with my Mercedes Benz bluetooth telephone system, within seconds the address book was loaded. This continued to work well even after I upgraded it to iOS4. HOWEVER, my new iPhone4 will not sync the address book. This is extremely annoying considering my iphone sits in my glove box connected so that my itunes audio plays through my car audio.
    Since I spend a great deal of time driving, this problem is big enough that it may cause me to return the iPhone4 and stick with the older model.

    If you have the long futuristic puck in the center console here are the instructions I follow - works every time on my 2009 S550:
    Important: * DON'T USE THE COMAND ON-SCREEN MENU - this will just mess you up *
    Repeat: * DON'T USE THE COMAND ON-SCREEN MENU at all for this *
    1) Put your iPhone on the bluetooth settings screen (Settings-General-Bluetooth)
    2) Press the Mercedes logo on the center console puck for 3 seconds (it's actually a button, puck will flash blue)
    3) Car might show up as "Hands-free" or "MB PhoneSystem" on the iPhone - select it
    4) It will ask for a code - the number is always 62872
    That's it! Let me know if you have any trouble.
    p.s. phone book might take 2-3 minutes to upload each time - this is normal.

  • Bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and Mercedes Benz APS 50

    I have massive problems to use my iPhone 4 (OS 4.1) together with my brand new car from Mercedes Benz. It is a E class Cabriolet 200 CGI from 2010 with a APS 50 Radio/Navigation/Telephone System. It has bluetooth included and I can connect my iPhone 4 to the APS 50 and even import all my contacts. But every time a start an outgoing phonecall through the APS 50, the connection seems to collapse. My iphone is dialing, but the APS system disconnects bluetooth coupling after some seconds. I even don't hear a dialing tone throzugh the speakers.
    Fortunately my wive has an iPhone 3GS (my old one ;-)) with iOS 3.x - and it works perfectly. So it must be something with the "4". A call to AppleCare did not help, they do not know the problem. Mercdes says, it is an Apple problem!
    Can anybody help?

    Have a similar problem with the COMAND system in my 2010 C class Mercedes. Bluetooth worked fine until I upgraded my iphone 3gs with 4.1 software. Now it frequently shows it to be disconnecting and reconnecting on the screen even though I always stay connected when on a call. It really is distracting when driving when the message constantly goes on and off the screen and also obstructs the satnav screen when in use. I called in my local Apple store but they were unable to assist and I have returned the car to Mercedes who have installed the latest software updates to the COMAND system. I have also re-paired the phone but still the problem continues. If only I could downgrade the iphone software to the previous version that worked perfectly. This whole episode is fast destroying my faith in Apple products.

  • IPhone 3G Mercedes Benz

    So, I just purchased a CLS550 2009 mercedes benz with integrated iPod crap. Turns out that the Mercedes integration works nearly flawlessly. The only challenge is that it won't power up the phone. I was told since the MB didn't support the USB power standard as opposed to the firewire standard - blah. basically it was a pin configuration issue. My thinking is that a new cord woudl fix the problem if it cross powered the right pins.. Am I wrong here? If so, anyone up to start manufacturing these c ords. Bet you could make a mint selling them. If someone has beat you to the punch, I'd love a link on where to buy them.

    Given the lead time Mercedes had from apple to make this change over, and given what you paid for the car, and given it is a 2009 claiming to be compatible with a device that came out in 2008, you drive back to their lot and tell them to fix it.
    They owe you a warranty repair.
    They had well over a year of notice from Apple that they would be dropping firewire and using only USB pins in the connector.

  • Sync only selected contact groups via Bluetooth to Mercedes Benz

    Hi
    I understand that it is possible to create "groups" of contacts in the address book program on my MacBook Pro and then choose to sync either all or just selected groups to my iphone.
    If I do sync all of these groups to my iphone (which I want) is it then possible to sync only "one" group (just the essential numbers) to my Mercedes via bluetooth?
    Thanks
    Gregg

    I am wondering the same thing.
    I have the iPhone and a Mercedes Benz, with the Bluetooth v60 Puck. The car will only receive 100 contacts but I have no way of knowing which 100 will be uploaded.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
