BlueTooth Switch
Need some wisdom from seasoned C Class owners. I just bought a white C300 4matic (Nav) for my wife yesterday and was able to easily setup the bluetooth and put in some contacts.
But I can't seem to switch between using the speakers and the actual phone. Does anyone know how to switch back and forth between phone and the car when you get a phone call without dropping the call?
I can't seem to figure it out.

Using an iPhone 4 (you may have something different) I choose where I would like to answer/hear the conversation using the controls built into the phone and can switch on the fly during the conversation.
I hope that helps....

What kind of phone does she have ?
The ability to switch back and forth is dependent on the phone, not the car. I have an iPhone, and while I am in a call on bluetooth one of the options on the telephone itself is to choose the source of the call :
During a call, tap Audio on iPhone. Choose iPhone to hear calls through iPhone, choose Speaker Phone to hear calls through the speakerphone, or choose a connected Bluetooth device.
Hope that helps...

yeah its the phone and not the car. the next time your connected, there might be a button on your phone's calling screen that can enable you to switch. if that doesnt work, answer the car using the phone and not the car's buttons

During a call on any Blackberry, press the Menu key (the one to the left of your scroll ball/pad) and all your call options are in that menu. Those options include switching between the handset and your Bluetooth device, as well as activating speakerphone, muting your microphone, and anything else you might want to do during a call.
Also, in some situations you don't have to manually switch it. Say you're on the phone while walking to your car. When you get in and start the car, the call will automatically transfer to the car's Bluetooth as soon as the phone and car recognize each other. On the flip side, if you're on the phone while driving and you turn the car off, the call will transfer back to the handset. The call won't drop in either case.
