Hi everyone, im new to the forum and have read a few threds to see if i can solve this problem but im having no luck!

Ok i live in the Uk and i have a S320CDI on a 55 plate (late 2005) long wheel base.

I have bought a bluetooth phone cradle to use in the car. The car has to be all the dnecessary wiring. Ok the problem i have is that i cant seem to complete all the steps that the instruction manual asks to complete. I cant go any further after step 5 out of a total of 6 steps.

The item number is B 6 7 87 5838. Its the bluetooth cradle which has the sim car reading ability, bluetooth and the privacy phone with the cord as well.

When i put my sim in it, everything works fine, it gets the address book, call lists, receives calls, makes calls and has reception with my network.

BUT i had bought it so i could just pair up my phone with it using bluetooth when i got in the car and when i left the car it would disconnect when out of range etc.

I get to a point where i use the cradle to find bluetooth devices within range, which it does and displays my phone- SAMSUNG E900. Then the instructions state that choose the phone you like to connect to, then press the make a call button to call the phone and a 16-digit pin will appear on the COMAND screen which i have to enter when requested onto my mobile phone.

Now this is where it all goes wrong. When i choose my phone so it can call it in order for the prompt to enter the pin....its starts caling my phone but then says no network and at that point i have to start from the beginning again as i havent to pair my phone.

I know the cradle works as i have tried it with just sim (and its brand new) and its perfect. But when i try to pair a phone, my samsung (ive also tried a Razr V3), no luck.

Really sorry for the long message!!!! Only way i could explain everything.

I would really appreciate the help from everyone or hope theres an expert on the subject. Thanks alot in advance

 

The answer to your problems seems to be Samsung. The phone would not support BT SAP and you cannot use it with this BT cradle.

You would either have to buy a BT SAP capable phone or buy a BT HF puck.

 

What is the BT HF puck? By using the BT HF puck will it enable me to use the the samsung without any glitches? Where would i go to get it or should i say how do i get it? I will look around but am guessing you would know best as you know what you are doing?

Thanks alot Diesel Benz

 

The dealer parts guy should have the device. Some info here:

You should be looking at part number B6 787 5877.
Seems to be £250 here:

I have no experience from Samsung, I would assume BT HF audio being ok but the phone book download is often an issue.

 

Oh ok ive seen that part before.....will that mean i cant use the cradle ive bought anymore then? I guess i will have to return it?
Is there no other way for me tog et my current cradle to work wit the samsung aprt from cahnging the mobile to a BT Sap capable one?

Thanks

 

The BT options for you would be the current cradle with a different phone that supports BT SAP or (likely) the BT HF puck with your current phone. The BT SAP cradle cannot be changed to HF.

When deciding, consider the different advantages of BT SAP.

 

Thats great Diesel youve been very helpful and ive been reading up on it aswell and i understand most of it now!! I think i will be going for the HF one and keep my phonethe same!

Thanks alot really appreaciate it!
