SL350 (R230)
2006 SL350 (R230) Bluetooth / Phone Connection

I realise this is long shot (age of car etc.)..............but I have surprised myself and got amazingly close to success - so wondered if anyone had made the final step in this technological minefield.





The screen shows that the Comand unit can see my phone but my phone can't see it.

I have managed to actually connect both devices but it only last a couple of seconds and then the phone disconnects.

The Comand unit asks for a code and I have tried 0000 and other 5 digit numbers - then phone then asks and I type in the same number but only get momentary success.

Any one actually managed to do this permanently - if so how please ??

Which phone is it? The head unit anyway only supports bluetooth profiles for headset operation and visitor card exchange. Your phone may not support either one.

If you were after hands free calls, you would need the UHI kit (or the corresponding US option). Then a bluetooth adapter inserted to the UHI connector and your phone would work via this adapter.

If you were after music streaming, you could use a bluetooth device connected to the AUX audio port.

On a European sedan car with NTG1 COMAND head unit the audio AUX connector is in the glovebox. Don't know if it is the same in a US SL.
