Works fine for me. It takes about 20 sec to recognize each other but after that it works just like my iPhone 4.

Its working now. You have to make sure the device name on the iphone 5 is the same as the previous device connected as mentioned in the other thread.

This worked for me just now with the iphone5, and a 2013 model C250

(You may be able to skip the step that resets the comand to factory settings.)

Using console knob, select 'System' from Top Menu.

Select 'Settings' from Bottom Menu.
Select 'Reset Factory Data' (blows out station presets)
Comand will reboot.
Turn volume down.

Select 'System' from Top Menu.
Select 'Settings' from Bottom Menu.
Select 'Activate Bluetooth' from popup menu.
Back out to main menu.
Select 'Phone' from top menu.
Says 'Ready for Bluetooth'.
Go down to 'phone' on bottom menu.
Select 'connect phones'
Select 'update'

Turn on Bluetooth on iphone.
When it finds your phone select it.
Answer 'yes' when comand verifies code.
Click on 'pair' button on iphone.

E63
I just got the iphone 5. It was working fine with my 2009 E63 AMG for a week. Then one day I chose to use the iphone speaker while answering a call and rejected the MB. Since then I can't pair the phone with the car anymore. Tried all the usuall setup procedures both on the phone and car but no luck. The car detects the iphone 5 but unable to connect. The phone does not detect the MB. I did rebooting on the phone, re-synch the phone in itune, but nothing worked. Also tried to delete the device in the car bluetooth, update, etc. Nothing worked. My iphone is just not recognizing MB anymore. Any fixes?
Thanks
Ron

I had the same problem and tried BigDaddy318's instructions but they didn't work for me. Rang my dealer who told me that I needed the iPhone to have Bluetooth on (which it was, of course) but also have Bluetooth screen showing. Without that, the phone wasn't making itself visible to the car. Tried this, and it worked perfectly so the secret is leaving the phone on the Bluetooth screen, which was inferred by BigDaddy318 but I must have missed it. Now the car and phone are paired, I don't have to do this and the phone works perfectly, including all the voice commands.
