Trying to connect my LTE Apple Watch three to my Mercedes-Benz Bluetooth. It goes through the motions and even asks me whether the passcode/pin codes are matching but nothing is able to be completed

Trying to set up LTE enabled Apple Watch three to my car‘s Bluetooth in the same way you pair the iPhone. It recognizes in the center consul that an Apple Watch is trying to pair and then asks me if the PIN code matches that of the watch. I press OK on both devices but then, the car’s console spits out another PIN code and asks me whether that matches. This process continues automatically (Asking me if different PINs match that of the watch even before the watch hasn’t cycled through the last request)three times or so then says that authorization fails. Tried innumerable times. It would only make sense that since the watch is touted as an independent cellular device that it should be able to make and initiate phone calls in the car through the cabin speaker in the same way that an iPhone can. Any advice?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 4

That's a current limitation, but not how it could be. I want to be able to leave my phone at home and still make calls, listen to music or podcasts through my car from my watch. It all already works through my Bluetooth headphones, why not car Bluetooth?

Same thing here.

The reason to connect appel watch LTE is to use the car speaker system

In Canada it is not legal to answer on the watch itself, in any case i find it dangerous during winter with a big Coat.

So for now i have to bring my phone when i am driving, not the intention


Please Apple find a solution for that great watch not so great
