Spotify, Bluetooth Streaming, Comand Update???
Hi, this is my first post. I bought a CPO in Dec 2012, it's a 2010 C300 Luxury. I have some questions with my COMAND system.
1. I cannot get it to pair with my contacts in my phone, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. The Bluetooth to take calls works fine, just the contacts won't show up.
2. MUSIC! Grr...very frustrated. I use Spotify via my phone and I have it connected via AUX. I can only control the playlist thur the phone, and cannot see the playlist on the navigation monitor.
3. I bought a iPod Touch (4th gen) hoping Spotify would work when connected to the iPod port...it didn't. I bought new iPod since my old one worked so well when in iPod mode, and the sound quality is so much better than AUX.
4. Is there a way to stream Spotify, or Pandora applications via Bluetooth, with the info appearing on the navigation?
Is there a way to get Spotify to play and be able to be controlled on the navigation screen? How do I find out the latest update available for the Comand system? Do I need an update?
Thanks All

Have too have a 2010 C350 Sport. I also have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and my contacts wouldn't load either. I just manually entered the important contacts into the command systems.

I just loaded contacts from S3 to 2013 C300. Not sure if your version is the same, but once you select Load Contacts from COMAN, look at S3 - it gives you a notification that MB connection has requested Contact list access. You need to Allow it. I could not do it before it timed out, so I Allowed and check "do not ask me again" box. Worked perfectly the next time I requests COMAN to load the contacts.
AUX interface is a simple audio connection as far as I know. The protocol does not allow for more than basic functionality there.

It stands for Media Interface Plus. http://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalA...AQs_v5_MIP.pdf
I've read about it, and it seems like it doesn't work well.
