iphone 2.0 and Mercedes Bluetooth HFP Cradle

So when the Nokia N70 works fine with the merc kit but the N95 doesn't is that Nokia's f**k up ???? Or could it be that the merc kit just doesnt work with all phones............................

No, but if the Nokia N95 worked one day then not the next due to a software upgrade by Nokia . . .then if would be Nokia's f**k up (as you so gracefully put it!)

Do you get our point?!

Same problem for me, my HFP Cradle don't sync my contacts on the command screen.......
Do you really think that apple will solve this problem ??

i hope by now you are all OK
i had NO problems with syncing my Orig. with 2.0 then with my 550 S
Actually i did nothing to the car
infact before 2.0 it was not using my new info but all old data from a razor i had 2 yrs. previously
Now, i am in perfect shape and did nothing
maybe you all are doing to much!
good luck!

Well, I was another Apple fan that the company has just p*ssed off. OK, I accept that the 3G iphone now won't charge in my '56 Merc CLK, as they have cheapo'd the handset and cut the 12V firewire charging pins (conveniently used by many car systems). And that the battery on 3G doesn't last a day if I actually USE the phone - so I guess I'd have to shell out for a charger, even though the iPod Merc integration did it perfectly well on the old one.
I foolishly upgraded to firmware 2.0 on my iPhone EDGE, and discovered that neither it (that worked perfectly on 1.1.4) or the bl**dy 3G works with the Merc hardware now. Nice one, Apple!

In fact, I have gone back to my iPhone EDGE. It's smaller. Its battery lasts. It charges in the car (and on my Bose sound dock). Thanks to Apple's refusal to allow you to roll back the firmware, you have to hack the phone to restore it (the firmware is easy, but you have to downgrade the baseband as well - from 4.05.04_G to 4.04.05_G). Still, now I've been introduced to iPhone hacking I'm not dependant on Apple any more - yay!

I'll be on EDGE until Apple can make their 2.0 firmware work in my car. I refuse to upgrade the Merc hardware - Apple caused this problem with their firmware, so they can sort it out. Don't hold your breath though!

This problem is bigger than the merc thing. See this thread:

After I upgrade my 1.1.4 iphone to 2.0 the bluetooth function in my car (X5 late 2006) does not work anymore. Before it worked fantastic including sync my complete addressbook (2100 addresses). Hope Apple will come with update soon.

My new iPhone 2.0 has terrible connectivity with my ML65 AMG Bluetooth (SAP-Profile) unit. There is constant static noise, it cuts in and out, and I have to turn the volume up to max each time I use the phone. If I switch to using the phone directly, or using speaker phone, the person I am calling says the signal is fine. Switched from a Motorola Krazer, which worked perfectly. Switching service from Verizon to AT&T also *****. But even when I had poor/weak reception on Verizon the sound via the my in-car Bluetooth system was sharp and clear. And BTW, my phone list syncs just fine. Anyone having the same poor signal issue? Any ideas? Hardware issue?

This hasn't been fixed by 2.0.1 😟

same here


This hasn't been fixed by 2.0.1

Can users of the HFP please try the followign which someone has said worked for them.

Leave the HFP connected to the iphone for about 10 mins and the phonebook should sync.

Let me know how you get on or if you have tried this

You're just wrong.

To say it's an Apple problem is absolutely true, check the web, there are thousands of Merc, BMW, Alfa Romeo etc etc owners who are experiencing the same problem. My 1.1.4 phone synced the phonebook with my Alfa Brera and worked perfectly, since getting the 3G it doesn't sync at all and the connection stability is terrible.

It simply IS an Apple problem.

This doesn't work.

Hooray Hooray problem solved. I have just upgraded to the latest software and my phone is back on track address book working. Thanks to the "Applets" for sorting this glitch didn't take too long. Luckily I was on hols for some of it and not using my car!! Pleased I didn't buy expensive sugestions in the meantime!

Which software did you upgrade; it was working with the Iphone Firmware 1.1.4 in my Mercedes but I already tried the upgrades to Firmware 2.0, 2.0.1 and the 2.0.2 and it's not working anymore (the contact synchro).
