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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Passing Through - 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sport

    Coolest :15 ad I've seen in a while!

    Too bad I can't afford the car.

    That one caught my eye too. Well-done.

    PS - I get one of those, when I take wife's car in for service, quite often. Nice, but I find it rather cramped. Might rent one for a little trip to the Smoky Mountains in August, or might opt for the Cadillac CTS sedan, as I have never driven one of those. Personally, I'd rather have wife's car, but that would add at least four extra days to the trip, and I am not ready for that. Still a cool commercial.

  • 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.

  • Mercedes-Benz Financial Payments w/ Credit Card

    So sorry if this has been asked before. I've just done an exhaustive search and the topics only seem to either cover down payments, talk about the American Express MB cards or they're so out-dated, I'm not certain the information is still accurate. I have a car lease through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services for about ~$650/month. I've been paying direct from my bank account monthly, but heard from a friend a few weeks ago that they were able to pay with their credit card for a $15 fee. They put it on an AMEX and apparently got the points and it was treated a purchase. Though I love my AMEX, I personally fly American Airlines and Oneworld and so want to earn AA miles for this transaction. This leaves me with Barclay Aviator and Citi AAdvantage as my options. I called MBFS, Barclay's and Citi - all state it will be treated as a cash advance with the associated fees and no rewards. My curiosity, though, is why they would all say it'll be handled as a cash advance, but American Express in this example handled it as a purchase that just comes through with the description "MB FIN SERV". I'm wondering if it's one of those "It should be this way", but their system is perhaps not seeing it as such? Does anyone here have any experience specifically with MBFS and paying with credit cards for this purpose? Did it work out for you? EDIT: MBFS did say the payment would be processed through Western Union.

  • Nokia n70 with Mercedes Benz Bluetooth SAP V2

    i have a mercedes sap v2 bluetooth device and when i try to connect it, it ask me for a connect code do you anyone know what code.i also can't find How do i activate remote sim active setting on at my n70 where is that am i blinde;

    Hi daon7800
    You have the HFP module which would be fine if you had a N70, but you need the MB Bluetooth SAP V2 A 04 8 0 05 35 module for your UHI and ironically the N95 is one of the few Nokia phones that Mercedes Benz recommend for use with this particular module.
    I presume that your wife has updated her phone and the HFP was recommended for a previous one?

  • 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.

  • 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.
