Hi All,

I have Ipod integration on my 2008 ML350 and I wanted to play music from my iphone 5 via bluetooth, because for Iphone 5 they change the pin which is not compatable to IPOD integration pin. So can someone tell me is it possible to play music via bluetooth, if yes then how?

Thanks,
Praveen

From what i have read on numerous forums, I don't believe Apple has allowed that capability.

Thanks for your responses. Do you guys have any idea about Belkin Bluetooth music receiver? does it work?


Thanks,

Why bluetooth, just plug a male to male stereo cable into headphone jack of Iphone and Aux input in glove box.

For the earlier 164/251 models if you have the iPod you don't have the aux input and visa/versa. Only during the newer models they have dual inputs.

I am not sure I have both AUX and IPOD inputs or not in my ML350 2008, I will check and if it is there then I guess it will be pretty simple. And Thanks a lot for all your ideas.

Thanks,
Praveen

Apple sells a coverter. It converts a lighting connector to the older 30 pin connector. 29.00 buck at Best Buy

I am not sure that adapter will work. I have a generic version that does not.

If you have OEM iPod integration just get this:

Converts your iPod cable to a A2DP receiver.

Just bought one myself, I'll post my results.

ok, let us know. The same item on dealextreme has someone saying it wouldn't work in his car. This one is confirmed in an ml320 2007 as working

Try this. It works for me. It seems currently sold out but it was under $10. Worth to try. Also available on ebay.

I bought one of these also for my '10 ML350 CDI, will report back

Hi
Did it work? Can you stream music via bluetooth from iphone5? does COMMAND display song name, etc.?
Thanks

medic

I mentioned above that i was using the mercedes media interface plus, but actually it does not properly work, for me, with iphone 5. At least via bluetooth - i cannot pick up the songs.

mbfanbb

Can you stream via Bluetooth? I don't care much about seeing song titles. I'm however looking for a way to stream via Bluetooth. Thanks

medic

I was able to with the iphone 4. Now with the 5 I have not been able to...

mbfanbb

That sucks. Thanks for the info. We will have to wait until something comes out I guess. I think MB dropped the ball on this one. iPhone 5 has been out for months and still no solution. Many, much cheaper brands out there can stream music fine.

medic

Not sure what's up. The phone/voice bluetooth works of course. It's just the music part. I may stop by the dealer to see if there is any new COMAND updating to be done, but I did update relatively recently to get the back-up/reverse guide lines on the screen - but that was I think before iPhone 5.

Hi,

I tried this device and it DIDN'T work, so pls avoid it
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=281048974840

It gives unrecognized device on the panel and my 2010 ML350 won't play anything

Btw, I just ordered a new device which I think can do the trick as it connects to the aux interface and avoid the complicated protocol exchange of the iPod interface

Hi All,

I bought the tune2air wma1000 and have been using it for a few weeks now. It works great. I recommend it. I can stream from my iphone 5 via BT.

medic

maybe i will try this one as well - i think it's $99
