I recently purchased an e class coupe with what seems the basic audio system, however it does have bluetooth connection and have managed to get my phone connected for the purpose of making and receiving calls. for what ever reason (maybe not possible) but i can not get my music to play through the bluetooth the only way i am able to play music off my iphone is through the aux cable located in the glovebox :/ if anyone could help would be very much appreciated.

thanks guys

What year? Do you have NAV?

tommy19

it is 2009 (59 plate), no nav pretty basic audio system from what i can see. radio, disc, sys and then bluetooth phone connection.

Bluetooth music streaming is relatively 'new' My 2011 BMW had the phone but not the music.

You should have an option under the audio list for it

tommy19

bump?

SolidGranite

I'm pretty sure models that old do not support Bluetooth audio streaming. My 2009 did not and I'm also fairly sure the 2010s do not either.

tommy19

Yeah from the reading up and research i have done i dont think it is possible with the 2009 model, however i did give it a go getting into the engineering mode to see what i can find and will show you a step by step picture guide of what i manged to get to.

Fist step got into the engineering mode. went to the bottom and clicked on 'ExtPlayer'.



This then came up and went onto bluetooth audio.



This then appeared where i pressed next.



Then this one so i did the same again in the top right hand corner.



And then finally got to this which was set to off so i changed to ON but nothing has changed and no audio through bluetooth




looks like it just cant be done, anyone got a new system for sale they want to sell ha.

tommy19

Anyone?

There are many C's with Audio 20/50 - you may have more luck with this question there.

I got my 2010 working after getting a firmware(NAV) update from the dealer.

I have the same problem ( E 250 Coupe 12/05/2012 Model ) Audio 20 just same.
I found this web page who show my audio 20 must work BT Audio

(Press ''Music Function'' )

So i went to dealer and they wrote to Mb TRIP Sistem.Now we are waiting them to say what can we do.İf they can do it i will wrihgt here .My be after 15 days.

sorry to bring this old thread back up but did you manage to get it working after all ?

ozel6161, any luck?

im in exactly same situation, what was your outcome?

the software needs to be updated in order to get the BT streaming, had it done on my 2011 no charge.

Not as simple for me. I was emailed this by my dealer.

"I have just returned from our parts dept after the parts manager has carried out more investigation.
We can get around this issue with work as follows.
We can replace the audio 20 unit which has code no of 523 with an audio 20 code510 [ we will need to recode car and update mb germany with this information]this will then enable us to fit the media interface and in turn update software to stream music.
The cost for this will be in the region of £1735.00 inc.I cant give an exact cost as we have not carried out this on any other cars so cost may be higher."

So we must have different set ups if the above is accurate.

Gutted. A simple software update would of course be my preference over the 2k option!

Ok you didn't say what year your car is but here is how my 2011 works.
You have to make sure the music app on the phone is open. It can be on and paused but it had to be on. It will show it is paused in the car if the app is not running.
With the app open go to audio, scroll to BT devices and push the controller to select.
You can scroll through songs by twisting the controller in BT mode but keep in mind you are restricted to the artist, album or playlist selected on your phone while in BT mode. If you want to change it you have to do it on the phone. Please pull over in that situation.
If you connect your phone through the USB connector (old iPhone was standard in my car but I have a dongle to it that gives me lightening connector so my wife's 4S and my 5 are compatible) you can select artist, play list, songs random etc through the controller.

I think we must have different set ups. I have no BT AUdio option unless you are referring to the 'hidden' engineering menu which does contain some reference to BT audio.

Mines a 2012 elcass e250 blu eff coupe.
Audio20
No usb.
Just an aux in arm rest. No standard BT audio options.

Thinking you have a different set up reading you explanation

Alex.currie44

I thought I had replied to this.
Researching the web tells me that Audio 20 does not support BT audio streaming, only the phone. Connecting the phone via the USB is the only way I can see it might work. Connect it and then look for media interface under the audio tab.
You can select everything regardless of the phone settings which you cannot do in BT mode.
I had a UK BT specialist link in my earlier reply but I have lost that.

larks

No USB I'm affriad.


i just dont get what an earlier posted meant when he said a simple software upgrade made his work.

Alex.currie44

I must have misunderstood. I thought there was a USB in the arm rest.

If not then I guess you are pooched. Try these guys

Hi Tommy. Sorry I bring this old issue. Sorry if my english is a little rusty too.

I just bought an MB E250 sedan, and I have exactly the same unit, did the same things inside the engineering mode, but didn't solve anything.

Could you please tell me if you managed to solve this somehow?

Regards,

I am using Bovee WMA3000A from viseeousa, it is an A2DP bluetooth adapter and I can answer phone call while playing my favorite song from my phone library and Pandora wirelessly and it automatically connects to my phone whenever I enter the car, etc...Hope this would help.

ellem09

You can get a BT adapter like the viseeousa tune2air. I have one which is the 3000A and it gets the job done.

Hello, I have the 2010' E550 coupe and I have the same problem with Audio streaming on bluetooth. My iPhone doesn't conect it, the others phones I didn't checked. Under Audio I have a option Bluetooth Audio, but it doesn't connect with my iPhone, handsfree on bluetooth works fine. Here is the video: Anybody have idea, how to fix it? On engineering mode bluetooth audio is activated (on).
