Adjusting Bluetooth

For some reason, EVERYONE complains about the road noise in my 2009 C350 when I am using bluetooth during a conversation (particularly on the highway/freeway). I have looked through the threads about bluetooth but I couldn't find an answer.

Is there a setting within command that will let me control the transmit/receive volumes? It is like my microphone is cranked up so high it picks up every single noise. I would also like to turn up the volume on the receiving side as it is often very hard to hear the person I am talking to (I am running the Blackberry 9630 and when I turn up the volume on the phone during bluetooth calls it doesn't appear to change the volume).

Thank you for the help.

Setting transmit and receive volume

These settings should normally not be
changed as the factory settings are matched to
most mobile phones. Find out about the optimum
settings for your mobile phone at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Changes may result in significant impairments
to the transmission quality. These settings
may not be changed during an active phone
call.

TEL - Tel - Phone List.
Select an mobile phone from the list.

Select Options - Reception Volume
or Transmission Volume.

To set the volume: Slide or
rotate the audio controller.
The volume bar moves up or down.

To confirm selection: Press or
slide the audio controller

Thank you NikCats this is exactly what I was looking for and as I was hoping the transmission was set at the Max (+2). I will have to road test it later. Thanks again.

Did this solve your problems? People say I sound OK but I can't here them too well... don't understand why I can't just turn up the volume using the volume knob! It maxes out and is still a tad too quiet!

You have MM package, right?
