Making phone calls

Not having the command system on my 2015 C180, to make a phone call indeed frustrating.
The buttons on the steering wheel have no function at all
Why have these without any use?
I can answer or end a call but need to go to the phone menu everytime i need to call up a contact.
Frustrating!!

I agree it's a real pain.

With phone in pocket Hey Siri doesn't work.

It's very easy if you use a speed dial. Watch this:

i think the buttons works with some phones and not others. phone integration is always wonky with cars.

I can't believe that MB decided it was okay to sell cars without voice dialing, especially with all the focus on distracted driving accidents. Seems to me they are taking a big risk doing so.

My voice button could be used for voice dialing and radio tuning until I inserted the Garmin card and then it went to navi only. I'd like to figure out how to reset it back to demo mode.
