Hi everyone, long time reader, first time poster.

Just got a 2011 C300 Sport and have found it impossible to connect my Verizon Droid X to the car's built-in navigation. Basically, when I get to the screen where the car asks for the code, my phone doesn't display it, even though it can detect the MB Bluetooth System. After a while it will display a message like "Cannot connect to MB Bluetooth". Any ideas what might be causing the problem? The phone's software is fully updated.

The phone wouldn't display a code. Just enter four zeros and hit Ok. You should then be prompted to enter a code on the phone - the four zeros.

First of all-- thanks for the prompt reply! Makes me feel very welcome on this awesome forum.

I won't be able to try until later as I am at work right now, but I have a feeling this will do it!

Thanks again

Very interested in the outcome, as I am considering the Droid-X (or Droid-Pro, Droid-Incredible), not sure yet.

All three of those phones are compatible with MB vehicles. Comparing each side by side, you end up dealing with three different beasts. The X is great for watching/streaming movies, but obviously its HUGE. The Incredible is everything the X is, but on a smaller scale, and the Pro is the result of a blackberry sleeping with an android phone - it's perfect if you text and email alot.

Great explanation! I think you just helped me decide on the next phone! (Pro)

my Droid X is connected to my car with no problem. just put your droid into discoverable mode and you should be set.

My wife wants a BB and I want Android, so maybe Pro is the answer! Thanks! Now I just can hope for a BOGO free offer in the next month when our Verizon "new every two" is up for renewal on the family plan.

The Droid Pro is awesome. I've been carrying around my Blackberry and the Moto Droid for the past year and I'll finally be able to get rid of both in exchange for the Pro.

Shop around Premium Retailers in your region. A BOGO w/ NE2 on the Droid Pro is possible, and profitable for a store, so you can find someone willing to do it.

Check out the Droid 2 Global. It's Verizon-native but supports an additional GSM SIM for global or other-network roaming.

There's also something new coming out soon at AT&T that looks even more promising, which could provide some interesting Android vehicle functionality.

I thought about that but we don't travel that much (maybe one trip a year out of US at most). Also, Verizon offers free GSM phones on our family plan (only pay $10.00 shipping one-way) and they keep our same numbers and contacts. Not interested in AT&T for the simple reason that 90%+ of people we call use Verizon (free mobile-to-mobile).

I have the Droid X...and a 2007 ML350. I can get the droid to connect to the bluetooth... I just can't get the address book to transfer to my car. Does anyone have any advice?

Can anyone confirm whether the DroidX address book works with the BT module B67875878? If not which module does work?

HI everyone...I have a similar problem.
My 2007 R320 CDI has the BT adapter in the center console. My BlackBerry Tour connected to this easily...and the address book displayed nicely on the screen in the car. Example...Bob Smith.

My new Droid Pro connects nicely and works well. BUT...the display of contacts is like this: Bob Sm

Really ? So clearly the Droid Pro is not sending all the data to the MB Bluetooth and there is some loss of data. So who gets upgraded? The MB BT or (if you could find it) the Droid ?

Thanks.

Do you know if the HTC Droid Incredible can transfer contacts to an '09 C300?

noka

UPDATE: I did it today and it does transfer contacts as v-cards successfully. Only thing is, it sends as "last_name, first_name", whereas previous contacts sent from the LG 8360 sent them the opposite way.
