Q: I have a new Iphone 5 and my bluetooth capabilty with my Mercedes E550 is not working for text messaging.  Mercedes says it's a phone issue.  Has anyone else experienced this and did you find a solution?

No problem. :)

I have tried everything that has been said in the forum, and i cannot get it to work for my 2012 c250! what do i do?  is the dealership helpful or a waste of time? 

I would respectfully suggest it is not the car and it not the iPhone.

There is something in your settings or how you have your phone set up that is preventing it from working.

It can be resolved, I am 100% sure. Mercedes cannot solve this for you.

There is some setting that is wrong in the phone but is not the phone itself.

Would you be willing to give more details on your settings?

So the Bluetooth is on, I have changed the settings with the blue button and making sure "show notifications" is on ..

Are messages enabled in the notifications settings with banners?  Enable all options there.

yes it is .
