I downloaded this straight away to try but I'm afraid it doesn't work for me. The car triggers BlueDUN and the status screen changes to say "Sent 0k/Received 0K" and "Connections TCP=0/UDP=0" but then the car comes back with "Connection failed". This is on a 2012 model C-Class with Comand Online and an HTC Desire S. Have tried my SIM in an old Nokia and it works so I know that tethering is enabled and that the profile I'm trying in the car works ("O2 Mobile Web Monthly" I think it's called).
If you can get this working you'll have plenty of buyers...
Cheers,
Tim

Just a quick update - version 1.04b of BlueDUN WORKS! 
It seems to get confused sometimes, especially if the phone has a wifi connection and it's fallen over on me a few times but it does work! Have bought the full version, hopefully it will continue to develop. Things are looking up for us Android owners - I see the new version of Cyanogenmod firmware includes the MAP protocol so theoretically Comand should then be able to read your text messages to you as well!

I have just tired it and it works! After hours of fruitless efforts with different BT DUN apps - FoxFi etc., finally some light in the tunnel. I use Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and the car is MB C300, MY12. My advice to all people trying to connect to comand online is: go to android market and get BlueDun, it works for me. Thanks mikibest.

Excellent
While it was fantastic to finally see Command in action i find the connection to be *extremely* slow, i have a very good 3G connection and surfing on the phone itself is fast. When i use Command it feels like i am running on an old dial up line, is this because of limitations in the bluetooth protocol or something else ?
I will be more than happy to help with troubleshooting if needed.

You should consider selling the app to Mercedes

The reason because I wrote the app is that I'm a owner of MB C coupè 2011 since last january and see the comand "offline" for all this time was very frustrating
I hope this help all MB enthusiast like me to fully enjoy their "star"

Hi!
The BlueDun software did the trick for me too, thanks! (Using Motoral Razr)
Now that I got to see the Comand Online in it's full glory, I wasn't that impressed though... :-)
MB should really release some more stuff for it.
Will this software be needed for Android 4 as well btw?

So, only a MB comand upgrade to PAN protocol may avoid to install a communication app on the phone.

performance
I did some tests with bluedun connecting my notebook to internet. The performance was not so bad, definately much faster than Comand. I think MB should lift up their game a little. Looking at the way it connects it's using UDP - very old protocol - popular in the 90ties but very unsecure as far as I remember. A bit rusty on these things nowadays, but I had a lot of issues with it in my old days. Anyway, bluedun is a great app and I am very happy with it. Keep up the good work!

I don't think it's the app but rather COMAND which is slow- I have used it both with a Nokia E51 and a Blackberry Bold 9900 and in both cases it was incredibly slow with good internet connections (two different telcos). I find it interesting to note the time it takes to launch the weather application in COMAND vs. just launching the Weather app on the iPhone.

the download speed strongly depends on the Mercedes VPN server (UDP protocol), because the comand doesn't connect directly to the web site, but throught the MB proxy; in other terms, when you open a link, the comand sends the request to the MB server, this server downloads the web content and forwards it to your car. When the proxy is busy, the performances are very poor

Mikibest, thank you for developing BlueDUN app, I downloaded it onto my HTC WildfireS, re-paired with my 2012 mb, Comand online works fine now, mind you, it is slow and probably a bit useless, but if I paid for internet access in my car, I want it to work, so once again, thank you.

Mikibest- I downloaded your BlueDUN trial and I am struggling with it. I enabled the Browser via Engineering menu. I am able to get the BlueDUN and my command to Sync, but when it is time to add the provider, I can't find mine. I am in the US and use T Mobile. Can the information that I need be added manually?
There is NO US in the country menu where you choose your provider. What am i missing? I thought this would be easy!! I want to get this working before I purchase your APP in Google Play. Thanks for the help!

How do I enable browser on MY2012 COMAND? I've already gone to engr menu & have enabled it there, but when I select the globe icon from the main menu selection bar, the engineering menu pops-up & not the browser.
edit: nevermind...got it working & it works great! I'm really enjoying google local search & street view - facebook is ok. To add, not sure what everyone here is talking about re: slow performance. Works just fine for me using htc evo 4g on sprint (4g wimax) & cyanogenmod 7 (20120421 nightly).

Purchased the app, followed instructions and got the galaxy s3 phone to connect and everything works at lunch time. However later in the day connection failed. Tried everything as per instructions from reauthoring the phone and changing various settings but still cannot to command online now. It is weird as I was able to get it working earlier???.
