Question Nexus 5 and Bluetooth Pairing

I'm having trouble authorizing (pairing) my Nexus 5 with my 2008 C300. My car recognizes my phone, and my phone thinks that it has successfully paired, but my car says that it was successful.

Any tips?

Did it give you an option to create a code from the car to enter into the phone? Also try deauthorizing then pair it again. And sometimes if you have too many paired connection it causes problems. So if you have multiple paired devices delete or deauthorize them all and try just your phone.

I got it to work by having the phone initiate the pairing with the car as opposed to the other way around.

Thanks!

Thanks!
How do you get your Nexus to show contact names on the car display?

Update: Received the contacts by selecting download contacts option from Comand system.
