Iphone paired with Mercedes bluetooth system

Having just paired my iphone with the in-car system in a new Mercedes there seems to be no way of transferring the phone contacts list into the car system as you would expect with other phones. If anyone has achieved this I would be interested to hear of it

I created this account just to respond to your question. After spending countless hours searching the internet and testing at the Mercedes dealer, I discovered that almost always this is related to the model of Mercedes bluetooth module(with the exceptions being defective model or outdated firmware for phone).
The most recent model of the mercedes bluetooth module is 'B67875878'. (located on the bottom of the device) Some dealers carry this and some carry previous versions. I was skeptical myself when I first heard this, however after purchasing the above model, my entire address book uploaded without hesitation. My experience with previous models left me with half of an address book (A-M).
Good news / Bad news
I know that is not the answer that you would prefer, however you can sell your adapter on ebay and upgrade for about $50 more if you do a little searching. If you are anything like me $50 is an easy/chip fix considering the original cost of the adapter.
Now if I can only get my vehicle's microphone working properly! =) Best of luck to you.

  • I just downloaded the newest IOS software and now my iPhone5 won't pair with the Bluetooth in my car (the car system says it's paired when I try to re-pair it but then when n try to make a call it tells me it doesn't recognize the phone.

    I just downloaded the IOS upgrade, 7.0.2, and now my iPhone 5 won't pair with my Bluetooth in my car, despite repeated attempts to re-pair the two and despite the fact it's been paired fine previously.  The car system tells me it's paired but then when I try to make a call I get another message that says there is no paired phone.

    You can't override it no matter what you do. The device has to connect to the server to complete the iOS update. You could try rebooting the iPad and see if that lets you connect to the server after it starts up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that will not work, you can try connecting to iTunes on your computer and see if the activation will complete. Sometimes when thes activation issues arise, you end up having to restore the device again, but first things first. Reboot and see what happens.

  • IPhone 4s will not pair with car bluetooth

    My new iphone 4s will not pair with the bluetooth in my 07 Volvo XC70. The blue tooth is after market, looks similar to internet photos of Motorolla T605. Blue tooth says to put in scan mode and then enter code when prompted. Pairing fails and then the screen for the code shows up on the phone.
    I had a iPhone 3s paired with this Bluetooth, and once when I did a reset of that phone had this issue, put through many attempts it eventually paired. Despite many attempts, I cannot get the 4S running IOS 5 to pair.
    The phone does pair with a motorolla bluetooth ear piece.

    I've been having this issue since I got an iPhone 4S last week.  (Upgraded from iPhone 4 on iOS 5.0.1)
    I would think that this is a software issue but I went ahead and visited an AT&T store to see about a replacement phone.  I was directed to go to an Apple store which I then did.  I explained this bluetooth issue I was having as well as the other issue with no audio on outbound calls (described in a different thread) and they gave me a new phone.
    Well, I've tested it several times now with the nav/handsfree systems in two different cars as well as with my headset.  All is good so far!  No drop of bluetooth connection, can switch at will between audio sources and no lack of audio on outbound calls any more.  (And these problems were happening frequently before, even after a complete restore.)

  • HT204368 Iphone won't pair with any bluetooth devices

    Iphone won't pair with any bluetooth speakers, earbuds or car stereo. The devices pair with other phones computers etc. Jawbone Jambox says it's paired with Iphone but Iphone still says not paired! what's wrong? Iphone also doesn't ring or signal text or reminders just vibrates.

    did that already twice. no pairings listed until I turn on bluetooth device then it just say not paired and pairing not successful. Jambox says it's paired but Iphone says not paired. Plus the ringer problem. When I choose a ring tone or sound it plays but when the I get an incoming call or text it just vibrates. And sometimes Itunes and youtube has no sound. What's going on?

  • Iphone paired with ipad for 2 days and now won't discover it anymore

    My Iphone paired with my Ipad2 via bluetooth and was working great for a couple of days then it suddenly stopped. Now everytime I try to connect them again my iphone 3g os3.1.3 no longer discovers my Ipad or ANY devices within range. I have restarted it several times, made sure that the bluetooth on both devices is turned on, and have tried a hard reset but it still no longer works. I am not sure why it suddenly stopped and I have been pouring over forums for hours and gotten no closer to getting my devices paired again!

    More than likely you already have lost everything .I doubt it will come back to life .Backups ??????
    Your only choice is to take it to an Apple Store genius bar and assuming it is toast they will offer an Out of Warranty exchange device
    In US prices are as follows

  • MacBook Pro will not pair with any Bluetooth device

    Last night my MacBook Pro stopped pairing with any bluetooth device (I've tried Apple Pro Wireless Keyboard, Wireless Mighty Mouse, Logitech MX900 mouse, Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard) and it simply won't pair with anything.
    It sees each device but when it tries to pair it fails. With the keyboards, sometimes it'll give me the passkey to type on the keyboard but then it doesn't recognize that I've actually typed it and hit enter. Eventually I just end up with:
    "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your keyboard is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." When ready, click Continue to try again."
    I've reinstalled 10.5.6 Combo update, tried to pair under a different user account, turned off/on bluetooth, and still nothing.
    I did install VMWare Fusion last night and briefly shared the Bluetooth connection to that, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
    Any suggestions?

    Me too. sigh
    All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
    Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
    Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
    One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
    Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
    Puzzled and frustrated,

  • Iphone paired with ipad

    Hey all,
    I have been an android user for pretty much my entire life. I picked up an ipad mini and it is serving me well. I have the first generation. Aside from its horrible lag and having to restart every app and reload every webpage each time, i am very enjoying the ipad mini for school use and light media consumption and web surfing.
    I plan to continue using the ipad mini for school. I might pick up the 2nd or even the third gen(not released yet) depending on how cheap they are during the holiday sales.
    What bothers(just a little) me is that I have an ipad and an android phone. I kinda want the continuity feature carrying over from one device to another whether it be from ios to ios or android to android.
    So with that being said, is it worth getting an iphone just so i can have continuity between my two devices? What do you guys think? What are the advantages of having an iphone paired with an ipad compared to having an android and an ipad?
    I am skeptical because the new iphones are horrible but if the advantage is big, i might just push the trigger.
    I thought about picking up an android tablet and just going with pure android across my devices but i recently bought a $100 itunes gift card.

    I have the same issue when pairing with my car radio (JVC KD-X50BT). Didn't find a way to reproduce it yet, though.

  • I cannot get my new Ipod Nano to pair with my bluetooth Headphones. It just searches endlessly.  These same headphones work with my blackberry playbook.  Does Apple only allow certain bluetooth devices to pair?  i.e. only the ones sold on their site?

    I cannot get my new Ipod Nano to pair with my bluetooth Headphones.  It searches without finding it. This headset works fine with my blackberry playbook.  Any suggestions? 

    thanks for reply... I saw on the Nano package that it is only compatible with bluetooth 4v.  Is that the same as A2DP.
    That's probably the problem... it wasn't a high-end headset.

  • Why won't my new mac mini pair with my bluetooth keyboard or mouse

    I bought a new mini in December. I've been fighting with getting it set up since. It refuses to see/pair with my bluetooth keyboard or mouse. How am I supposed to proceed with setup if I can't even get off the start-up screen???
    1.4GHz
    1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz) with 3MB on-chip shared L3 cache

    The Bluetooth devices were probably paired with another computer. You need to "unpair" these Bluetooth devices before pairing with another.

  • After installing ios7 on my iphone 4, bluetooth is not pairing with my bluetooth car speaker.  I have restored settings.  Any tips?

    Can anyone help/  After installing ios7 on the iphone 4, I cannot connect bluetooth on the phone with my bluetooth car speaker.  It worked before ios7.  I have restored my phone but it is still not working.

    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. This will not affect data. Remove the car speakers from the phone under Bluetooth, and remove the phone from the car stereo. After that place both devices back into pairing mode and reconnect.
