Mercedes Bluetooth and Blackberry
To those of you who have the normal COMMAND system (not Nav) and blackberries. After the initial setup (first time paring the phone with MB bluetooth) lets say the next time you use your car does your blackberry (given that bluetooth in on) connects to the MB system automatically or it asks for permission before connecting??
thanks in advance

Same here w/ BB 8100
I have tried everything with my BB 8100 and it WILL NOT transfer over the phonebook. I am actually thinking of getting a different phone for that reason. Have had this BB for over a year and am now able to upgrade without penalty. Anyone know is the BB 8800 or the Palm Centro sync up properly, phonebook and all?

I have a Blackberry 8800 and it works fine. Here's how to transfer the address book from the Blackberry to the COMMAND system.
The following instructions are to be done on the Blackberry, when it is connected to the COMMAND system:-
(1) Click on the Set Up Bluetooth icon.
(2) Select MB Bluetooth
(3) Select Transfer Address Book.
The phone numbers are then transferred from the Blackberry to the car system.
To update the phone numbers in the future, first delete the data base on the COMMAND system, and then reload the phone numbers using the 3 steps outlined above.

On a slightly different topic. If you want to play your music from blackberry to the cars bluetooth, it can be done.
I purchased a blackberry gateway
and plugged it into the aux input jack in the glove box. Pair it up and you are ready to play your MP3 files 
To change the tracks etc you just use the track ball.

There is another way to enable push server mode and that is by going to blue tooth Options. From update list of services, change hands free unit to object push. Transfer your contacts and revert the object push to hands free unit.
Hope it helps.
