Just got my COMAND firmware upgraded and am now streaming BT Audio.

You should enable BT Audio in the Engineering Menu and if you are having issues with pairing or reconnecting once paired, go to the dealer and have them do the firmware upgrade. Hope this is useful!

yep....I wish they would have told me about before I spent $300 on the useless add-on module. I even had my car in for service and asked about the possibility of retrofitting the new units.

with the new firmware, it works like it should. I only wish that we had the USB jack in the center console so I could charge my iPhone there. I'm sure I could retrofit that but it's not that big of a deal.

Thanks... you just reminded me to cancel my order for the Media Interface Plus.
I'm going to look into something like this to put in the cigarette lighter socket. Should be low profile enough to allow the cover to slide back when not in use.

PGT · 02-18-2012, 09:49 PM

it does work perfectly. I have that and pull the cable out to close the cover.

MEM550 · 02-22-2012, 09:57 PM

is it free to upgrade the firmware???

PGT · 02-22-2012, 10:05 PM

yes, especially if you tell the dealer you're having BT connectivity issues

^^^^ What he said, especially about connectivity issues! Don't forget to enable BT audio streaming beforehand so that they can test it.

For whatever reason the Belkin device I linked to above does not allow the ashtray cover to be closed. Perhaps it is because I bought the 2.1A version to enable iPad charging, or perhaps they just changed the design. Kensington do one that is much slimmer, as does Griffin, which is available for the frighteningly low price of $4.25 on Amazon...

Can someone please help out! First time to post.

I Just purchased a 2010 C 350 and curious if this will work with a C CLass? I see you guys are referring to the E Class. Mine has the Command with Navigation and Ipod connector/aux in the glovebox.

Dealer and MB 800 aren't to eager to provide much help.

I would LOVE to get this working!

Thanks in advance!

Maybe i posted this incorrectly. Should I create a new thread to ask this question? Does anyone know the answer?

Wow. No one can post a response? I'm sure someone else has asked themselves, hmmm. can i play audio over bluetooth in my car as opposed to the silliest idea of an ipod/iphone in the damn glove box.

MrH · 02-05-2013, 10:25 PM

Have you asked on the C class forums? I'm sure the reason nobody here has replied yet is because they may not have the definitive answer to your question, given that it is obviously a different car. Maybe you should just try it and then you'll know for sure.

lebenzo · 02-06-2013, 12:58 AM

Thanks MR H,

Actually I did post there as well. No luck.

Egonvdv · 02-07-2013, 10:33 AM

hi

is this supposed to work with any MB radio?
cos in mine (2012 blt) not much is streaming at all...

tjsuiter · 02-16-2013, 07:14 AM

I see from the link how to get into the engineering menu and I have checked the HU version by going into 3.19 but where do I go in the menu to enable BT audio? I have a 2010 E550 Coupe with a build date of 12/09. Thank you.

Hi I'm a new 2010 e550 owner and wanted to activate the bt audio streaming. Can you please give me a step by step instruction on how to as you say enable BT Audio in the engineering menu. I think I can get to the engineering menu by simultaneously holding hangup button + 1+ #. But after that I am lost. I do not know under which option I can find the BT Audio.
Please help.. Thanks.
