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?

mono 8 bit 8k is 64kbps, yes. 8 bits times 8,000 = 64,000 = 64k bits/sec.
And yes I think that's a typo - there's no such thing as 'Mone' that I've ever heard of...
But you might want to check to find out if this is a mu-law non-linear format, possibly - there are several ways that 8 bit 8k wav files can be encoded, and typically phone systems don't use linear ones. If you have a log-in to Zultys' user-base system they have an FAQ there, I believe - the answer might be in that, and it won't cost $500.

I am unable to export my contacts from my iPhone 4 to the hands free unit on my Honda Civic VTI-LN. Has anybody had this problem and found a solution.

Strange that your dealer could not help.
When my car was in for its 6 month service in July/August I mentioned this problem to the dealer service dept (Northway Honda, Bundoora, Vic)
The person booking the car in told me an update to the software was needed and that they would do the update.
I don't know if it was free as there was no specific listing of a software update on the invoice - just a lot of item numbers.
All has been well since

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.

Hands Free Bluetooth on my Iphone Stinks - Lots of Questions

I'm not new to iPhones... I've had 3 now. I just got the 6.
I upgraded because I thought the fingerprint recognition would provide a better hands free experience in my car. I have a Ford Fusion with Sync.
First thing which is probably more of a comment that hopefully someone will have a suggestion for... I can't believe that the only option the iPhone gives you with the fingerprint recognition is to require it IMMEDIATELY... Why is that option even in there if it only has one option to pick from? So now, when someone texts me, I hold down the main button and use my fingerprint to get in, then tell Siri to text them back. I don't want my screen on all the time, so I hit the button to turn it off. They text me again a minute later and I have to do the fingerprint again. I really wish I could say to not require a fingerprint for 15 minutes or half an hour. Why don't they? They let you set that time if you are using a passcode. It's ridiculous. It shouldn't even be in the menu system if you click immediately and it's the only option in there.
So... I just feel like this fingerprint feature is actually making texting in my car harder than it already was. At least before I had it set to not bug me for a password for 15 minutes... So if I was in a convo, I could just hold down the siri button and communicate back and forth while driving. It already stinks that Sync and iPhones don't work for texting together. From what I hear an Android would be WAY safer when driving. Especially the ones with the quad processor that are constantly listening for your commands. Then there's no buttons to push at all, and if it knows it's in a safe environment like your car's bluetooth, it doesn't even bother with passwords...
What's the suggested way to do this? Turn off passwords every single time I get in my car? I really don't want to have to touch my thumb to the thing with every single message I send. I really don't want to keep the screen on while driving. It's just not a very safe phone considering where technology is. What do you guys do? And am I missing something? I am not going to get Apple Car Play when my car came with built in bluetooth and a cool system already, with steering wheel controls etc... And to any the people that might think replying "You shouldn't be texting in your car anyway" or "Just wait until you get to your destination..." That's not helping. It's not unsafe if you can do it while keeping your eyes on the road... Which is what I'm aiming for.
Suggestions?? Thanks!!!!

I had this problem and what I did was: read the user manual. I was actually using the wrong buttons to put the Tri-BC200 on pairing mode. I also boot my I phone. Everything worked OK. Regards.

Volvo s80 2008 model works with iPhone 5 only on hands free mode. Should it not also play my music through Bluetooth connection. Even my 4 year old Tom Tom does that.

How do I get iPhone 5 to stream music by Bluetooth to my volvo s80. My built in volvo Bluetooth seems only to pair for calls and address book only but I can't get it to stream the music. Surly this should be possible my 4 year old Tom Tom even does that.

If bound to a Bluetooth device which support a2dp all audio Will play out of the Bluetooth device this have been the case with all iOS devices which support Bluetooth

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).

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.

Does my iPhone 4 work with Hands Free Profile (HFP)?

My new car is supposed to send/receive text messages via the new fandangled stereo/navigation unit. The manual says the phone must be compatible with "Hands Free Profile (HFP)" or Message Access Profile (HFP)". Does the iPhone4 use/have this? New car is a 2012 Subaru Impreza with the Nav system.
Thanks.

It supports HFP 1.5 (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647).

IPhone and IPad not handing over on AP's

We have just installed a new Enterasys wireless network but all Iphones and Ipad will not handover on AP's, you can see the device disconnecting but will not connect to the next AP, it waits about 7 seconds then reconnects. We have tried different levels of software on Iphones and Ipads and have worked out pre 7.0.1 works fine on both devices but any level above this fails. I have spent the day trying to see if anyone has had the same problem but no luck.
The EAP type the radius server is using is PEAP and is working fine on Windows tablets and phones.
If anyone can tell me what the difference is in software on Iphone and Ipad I would be really greatful.
Please let me know if you need any extra info.

Several members of my family and friends are having problems mwith new iOS .7.02 operating system. After downloading new iOS our phones will not connect to our Bluetooth Handsfree phone systems in our vehicles. 2009 Mazda CX9 and 2010 Mazda CX7.

Clear the pairings at both ends and re-pair

I have a 2011 Kia Sorento with hands free bluetooth. I can select where the music can be played, to the Sorento, but the music does not come through the bluetooth speakers in the Sorento. Am I missing an app for that? What am I doing wrong?

I have trying to connect my iTunes music through my bluetooth in my Kia Sorento. I have paired the phone with the bluetooth, but now the phone will not even connect, let along having the music play through. Do I need a special app for that? Was something dropped or lost from my iPhone to where no connection, phone or music, will play through the bluetooth to the speakers in the car?

It should work just fine. Try deleting the pairing in the car and on the phone, then re-pair them. It works fine in my 2011 Optima (with the non-nav system) after upgrading to iOS 5.
Make sure there is no other bluetooth connection active when you start the car to connect to it (like a headset).

Iphone and "new Citroen C3"' factory bluetooth

Is there anybody who owns a Citroen C3 and connected the iphone to its bluetooth system (Connecting box)?
I wasn't able.
The iphone recognizes and shows "Citroen" on the display, the car audio system recognizes and shows "iphone.." on the display. Then the latter asks for a digit code, but NO MATTER WHAT CODE I ENTER the result is the message"Connection failed"
Note that other phones (bb, nokia, samsung...) can connect! (and their owners laugh at my iphone )
Please... help!!!

I had problems pairing my iPhone with my new C3, the procedure seemed to work.
When I followed the manuals instructions, and the C3 did a scan for Bluetooth devices, it found the iPhone no problem. The multi-function display then seemed to ask for a code from the iPhone, which confused me as the iPhone Bluetooth settings showed nothing that to copy, so what to do?
Reading this thread sparked an idea why not enter any code into the car and see what happens? Once I had entered the code, the number pad on the iPhone popped-up asked for the code which I typed and the phone just works now.
The C3 picks up the iPhone whenever I get in, callers names show on the MFD with the sound on the speakers and the built-in microphone works well. Also music streaming works fine. Can't seem to change music from the car controls but I will continue to fiddle with the controls and see what happens.

Does the new iPad provide a hands free bluetooth headset connectivity?

It's my understanding that such connectivity was available in the iPad2, but I have seen nothing to indicate that it is available in the new iPad.

Yes
