LoL my Nokia model phone is not on the list.. but i use it in my C NOKIA 6151

Blk04cobra1

We've had no problems connecting any phone with the new c-class...very handy adn hopefully Mercedes will incorporate this technology in all the models next year

So does that mean my Treo on Sprint PCS won't work? VERY disappointing if true. Any Treo owners out there who have tested the Bluetooth yet?

Txhurdle

Treo's have never worked. (Of course that's my phone) Palm's BLUETOOTH program just doesn't want to play nice.

Realize though that just because a phone isn't on the list, doesn't mean it won't connect. The real meaning is that if your phone is not approved, and you try and use it in your Mercedes, and something goes wrong (seen many cars with locked up electronic systems) your car is NOT covered under warranty.

Just be careful out there.

MBTex

well that is horribly disappointing.

Txhurdle

Let Palm know, like I have.

MBTex

May I ask which version of the Treo you have and which OS it uses? I have a Treo 700wx and it runs Windows Mobile (Ver 5.0) rather than the old Palm as its OS and, because of that, I have yet to have a problem with it connecting to anything else.

To save you the suspense......no Mercedes-Benz.

MBTex

well #@*!

this is very disappointing

Peyton

WOW...ok...so anyone tried with the iPhone...that I just got today, gosh that would be awful

Txhurdle

iPhone not approved. I have clients with intermittent connectivity, but again, not covered under warranty so if it locks up your system, expect to $$$ to fix it.

MBTex

Txhurdle...may I ask which dealership you're at in Big D?

Txhurdle

not a sponser of the Forum so can't say. Sorry.

MBTex

no prob. i understand. thanks for the PM

zakklp

Anyone know if Nextel phones work on this setup?

Yesterday I visited my local AT&T cell phone store plus a Cingular kiosk at a local shopping center to get info. Turns out a lot of those listed are no longer sold. Then I read some reviews of a few which revealed that the RAZRs are too fragile and the warranties are crap. The Sony W300i got universal bad reviews.

Etc.

MBUSA is behind the times, as usual.

Apple started discontinue iPhone, so who cares?

pmb600

No, they are not going to sell the 4GB model anymore because most people are buying the bigger 8GB.

Also my iPhone, and my salesmans iPhone paired just fine.

Peyton

THANKS for that PMB600 thats exactly what I wanted to hear.

Dema...not discontinued...and the people that would care are the people that spent $599 for a phone in the last 2 months and are getting this car.

Go to http://wireless4mb.com/ and here is the official MB guide to making it work and troubleshoot:

http://wireless4mb.com/iPhone%20How%...20Vehicles.pdf

The last page, item 5.7 indicates they pair, which I assume means it works. I realize the W204 does not use the BT module, so don't quote me on the reliability of the connection. This guide does provide some troubleshooting and operating techniques that may prove useful either way.

Peyton

But it does use a bluetooth module...

pmb600

No it doesn't use a removable module like the one pictured, the bluetooth capability is built into the car.

Peyton

Gotcha thanks.

Txhurdle

iPhone officially approved for models with MHI Interface:

No news on the W204 though....
