Iphone and Mercedes Benz

Hi..

I have an iPhone 4 and currently trying to figure out if I can connect it to my SLK 250. 😕 Can't currently listen to any music (apart of the radio FM only) as my one CD player is used for Nav system cd. 😟

Would appreciate any input.

Many thanks..

Not sure if you are still selling MB cars, my 2011 C300 works with iPhone, but I could not get the contact list uploaded.

I have a 2011 GL and have synced my white iphone 4 to the cars bluetooth. However every time I turn the car off and restart, I lose my connection and have to manually resync with the cars bluetooth. My car seems to remember the phone however my iphone requires me to turn bluetooth off and then back on to find the car every time. Any suggestions on how to repair would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Just got my new GLK 350 2012, and it seems like the problems with iPhone integration continue.

I didn't paid for the navigation system that included some sort of iPhone/iPod compatibility, but i was something like 3000 bucks, and I'm more iPhone-centric.

Anyway, the import of contacts from the Macbook as indicated here, worked like a charm!.. and now the iPhone works with the Bluetooth system. Now I have to figure it out how to make the music to play in the car without using a loooong aux cable.

Just wait until you upgrade to IOS 5, then see what fun it is trying to connect iPhone 4 to Bluetooth.

I just recently purchased a 2009 C300. I found a solution to the problem of importing contacts. Not sure if it would work for everyone but...

I have a Macbook. This is just some general instructions for the solution that worked for me. Perhaps I could provide more specific details later.

I went to my contacts and exported a vCard file to my desktop. When I did this, I only selected the top most likely contacts that I might call. This was about 45 of my 300 contacts. I saved the file to my desktop. I then took my Macbook out to my C300 sitting in the driveway. I activated Bluetooth on my Macbook and then attempted to activate Bluetooth in the MB system options. It searched and connected my Macbook as if it were an audio device. Perhaps a Bluetooth headphone device. I then went to the MB telephone options and asked to Receive vCards. From my Macbook, through the Bluetooth File Exchange program, I sent my vCard file to the MB Handsfree Bluetooth connection. Bam...the contacts downloaded. Worked like a charm. Please let me know if this worked for anyone else. I presume this general solution would work the same for a Windows pc.

That's funny, I have a 2010 B200 and had no problems pairing my iPhone 4S runing iOS 5.01. It works always and without any difficulties at all. The problem with synching contacts is a separate issue and has to do with the iPhone's inability to export vCards. If you have any Mac laptop running OS X Snow Leopard or Lion it is easy, as described by "Javg" in this forum. You don't need any apps to do it, but you do need to spend some time cleaning-up your Address Book and selecting your most important contacts before exporting it to vCard and uploading to your MB audio system.

Alternatively, you can purchase an extension cable for your media connection and use the phone to dial, instead of the audio system. Just check on eBay for iPhone extension cable and purchase one that will enable all the functions, such as this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/iPhone-4-iPod-30-Pin-Dock-Extender-Extension-Cable-Cord-/ 290576111841?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a7af98e1

I hope this helps.

Shame I didn't read ur post but for 2 weeks had that issue until I discovered the 4 digits key and solved my pairing problem. But can't get the address book, how did u do it ? I have a c200 Mercedes and uses its built in console and Bluetooth. Thanks,

I happen to have my old Blackberry lying around so I downloaded my address book from the backup, paired with the audio system on the MB and imported everything. If you can borrow a Blackberry and import all your contacts, this is one of the easiest ways to do it. The MB audio imports all the contacts auromatically from the Bberry. Alternatively, I would suggest using one of the methods mentioned by other members, using a laptop computer paired with your MB audio.
