Android Phone - Contacts downlaod

Hello, Anyone had any luck with downloading phone contacts in the GL bluetooth using an Android phone ?.
If so please share; any special adapters to buy ?. I know you can do this on the iPhone, but need this done on an Android phone, not an iPhone

Thanks

I believe it depends upon the year of your GL. I have a 2007 GL450 and that Comand system doesn't support contact download with Android phones. It works with iphone and blackberry.

I don't know what year exactly, but I think the 2010's and newer should support Android.

What year MB do you have?

Check your phone software for upgrades. i never had any issues with my android phones, even on 2004 S500.

Malahhaor, you got me thinking again and I found this thread. I might try doing this procedure tonight.

Its really strange, but i didnt even have to do the steps from the second thread. i pair the phone and under options select transfer phone book or something of that sort and im done.
Like i said, never have i had issues since i started using BT modules in my cars. It worls for my phones as good as it does for my wifes iphones. never had issues with one or the other, both work the same.

Hi Stephen,

If you go to: http://www.mercedes-benz-mobile.com/#/gb/en/passenger, you can select the MB vehicle and the phone you wish to sync and you can get all the instructions.

Hope it works for you, it worked for my iPhone & GL.
