2009 C300 Samsung S3 CoolStream Duo

I have a 2009 with IPod intergration in the glove box and it functions
correctly. I would like to play Pandora through my Samsung S3, just purchased a Cool Stream Duo Bluetooth receiver. Paired the Coolstream with my phone and connected it to the 30 pin connector in the glovebox. Pandora is running and I have selected Aux thru the command menu. I use the steering wheel buttons to access audio when I get to the Ipod screen it says ERROR.
Anyone had success in connecting ???
When I disconnect, Pandora sound returns to the phone.

Thanks

I have learned to accept how far behind MB is in terms of media integration. I bought a $50 Bluetooth aux adapter for my galaxy S3 and stuck it in the glove box aux port but the audio quality was horrible. I returned it and bought a 5 ft flat aux cable for $5 off amazon. Audio is still lower volume due to analog resistance or something, and I'm not willing to spend $50 on an adapter to fix this problem that shouldn't even exist in the first place. The cable isn't too bad, it actually looks cool(it's red) and allows any of my passengers to play their own music easily.
