Ron FYI the LG Dare has a Software upgrade available so go stop by a Verizon store and get it flashed
Thanks for the info but I returned the Dare, wasn't very happy with the user interface nowhere as smooth as an Iphone. Also the salesperson sold me a package I didn't need that boosted my monthly by 74.00 more per month. Not happy so I turned it in got my plan put back the way it was and got a simple phone which is what I should have done in the first place.

This site does not list any Samsung phones as compatible with the MB system.

It actually does, depending on the country you select. Like two models for Germany. I guess you mean Samsung models for the US market.

C220d Estate Avantgarde, Obsidium black, command, factory tint. MB CLK240 Iolith Blue / Pebble-Gone
I have a 18 mth old Motorola MotoQ and a N73 nokia which is about 2 yrs and have command in my brand new c. the dealer did it for me at the time of delivery and apparently the other salesmen get him to do it alot as he is the office expert. did each separately and both were unsuccessful despite the car detecting and naming the models of the phones on the sscreen and punching the passnumber into the phone. did it time and again until he turned the phone off and on again (a couple of times) and finally they synched. have to say it took some doing half and hour before he got it. I dont know what it is but it seems to have something to do with turning the phone off and on in the car.

Cheers

For those having problems syncing, try this - initiate an active call on your cell, then follow thru the regular steps in the manual to search for your cell phone from the comand unit. It worked for me! Even the shop foreman could not get my phone to sync when i took it in.

For emphasis:

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR PHONE IS VISIBLE TO OTHER DEVICES (YOU CAN FIND THIS IN YOUR PHONE BLUETOOTH SETTING MENU)


On my HTC Touch Pro2, this was the difference that permitted pairing.

Its possible that in your cellphone, there is a setting that varies the amount of time that your cell phone is discoverable. It was probably set for 30 seconds or maybe a minute. That would explain why rebooting your phone worked.

Thx for posting this; I was given a bluetooth equipped W204 as a loaner while my CLK is in the shop, and it didn't come with a manual! The first call I made got complaints about quality....does that button on the right side of the steering wheel, near the phone/volume control, control the volume of me on BT?

Thanks for that.
I read the manual and couldn't get it to work. Your instructions seem more clear and concise. I'll give it a try...

Go to download contacts under the phone option screen. The screen should pop up "receive business cards". On your blackberry, go to the bluetooth menu. Highlight the MB Bluetooth option. Press the BB button, then choose transfer contacts. This should transfer over your contacts. Just remember to delete them when you turn the loaner back in as they will stay with the car.

whkento--shoot me a PM if you get stuck. Im usually on here a couple of times per day.

I am so happy to have found this post, as I'm STILL driving that 204 loaner. I've DLed my address books from 2 phones, but callers still show as "unknown". What's up with that?

Eddie--where is it showing up as 'unknown"? If you have the person in your address book, then it should pop up on your center (multifunction screen).

I did get the address books from 2 different phones - personal and business - uploaded to the car, and what I'm noticing is if I originate the call from the handset, which is more likely, then it'll show up unknown:

Calling the same number using the car's controller (which really required being parked) did bring up the name:

Not that big a deal when MAKING a call, as I know who I'm calling; as long as it shows the name when I RECEIVE a call (and it does, at least in the test I did).

Not to go off topic, but as long as I'm posting pics, do you have the aux input in your glovebox? Not the iPod-specific one, just the generic input? The manual seemd to indicate that I'd see an audio boost option:

but I don't:
