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.

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?

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 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? 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.

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.

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.

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.

Try it once and find out but more than likely it will go thru as a regular charge.

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?

IPod Touch and Mercedes Benz

Recently obtained a Mercedes Benz with iPod integration kit. Directions indicate that iPod Touch not a compatible item, and indeed it does not work. Does anyone know of a workaround that allows the Touch music to play in this car? Thanks.

Rock: Questions:
1. Will this change or delete material and/or apps on the touch?
You won't lose anything as long as all your media and Apps exist in your iTunes library. You'll have to re-load them onto the Touch, but they won't be removed from your computer. After installing a down-rev OS version you might be able to re-load your last backup, but not if you step down to a lower major revision (i.e. 2.x). No matter what, you will have to re-load your Touch's contents, and if your last backup can be used during the Restore process (using your 3.1.1) then all your Music, Apps, Video, Contacts, Web links, etc. will all be restored (unless you manually manage your music, in which case you'll have to re-select what to load).
However, as I said stepping down to 2.x (or 1.x) requires setting the Touch up as a new iPod, which means re-doing everything, including your Contacts, web links, etc. You won't lose any Apps, Music, etc. as long as they exist in your iTunes library.
2. Using Powerbook G4, I found a "home" key, but no "sleep" key.
No, Home and Sleep are the two buttons on your Touch
3. I of course have a "shift" key, but where is the "restore" found?
Since you're on a Mac, you need to hold the Opt key, not Shift (my bad). The Restore button is what you see in iTunes when your Touch is connected (below the picture of your Touch). After getting into DFU mode, hold down your Opt key as you click Restore, then navigate to where the .ipsw file is located.
4. In my library I have <iPod 1, 13.1.1_7C145Restore.ipsw>. I assume no 2.x, only 1.x, correct?
That could very well be. If you never did a firmware update to a 1.x or 2.x OS version from this computer, then you would not have these versions on this computer. Try the 3.1.1 to see if that gets your Touch communicating with your MB stereo. If not, then you will have to see if MB has its own firmware update for their stereo system, or try to find a 2.x OS version (I wouldn't step all the way down to 1.x).
