Blackberry Pandora to C300 Aux Input

Hi, Does anyone know what specific cable I need to connect a Blackberry Bold to audio aux in the glove department in my C300 2011 Sport ? I tried to connect via BlueTooth but that doesn't seem to work. Thanks for advise. Ronald

Hi, see my post here about using a bluetooth gateway. It streams any audio from your BB wirelessly but still routes phonecalls to/from the car with no change. https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-question.html

Hi, One question left as unclear to me. Does the gateway needs power from the USB via the 12V outlet in the gloves box or does power come from the aux 3.5mm plug inlet ? Thanks Ronald

The 3.5mm jack is for audio only. The other plug is 12v switched(will only provide power when the car is on)

Yes the BB Gateway needs a power source and I use the one in the glove compartment. I have a Verizon BB with a Verizon 12v charger cord for the BB that also has a USB power output. The BB Gateway is USB powered.

Yes when the car is off the Gateway is off, just like the Bluetooth/Sound System of the car. When I turn the key the Gateway is immediately functional and my BB pairs with it right away same as it pairs to the car for phone calls.
