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.
