Bluetooth audio streaming.

Apparently you can stream audio via bluetooth through the command unit. you have to enable it through the engineering menu which is accessed through pushing and holding #, 1, and the hangup button for 10 seconds. what would the option be called though?

Are you talking about for cars without the Premium Package installed?

Because Bluetooth audio streaming is automatically included on cars with the Navi system (part of the Premium Package).

I use the Bluetooth Audio all the time in my car.

The facelift ones have it enabled. pre facelift doesnt have it enabled but apparently you can enable it in the engineering menu.

Hey,
So I've spent some time looking for this as well, and while I'm not ruling out I just don't know what I'm doing, I don't think it's possible, at least with my 2011 C63 with it's specific SW variant.

There's multiple E class forum posts about this e.g.
But the options they explain rather well here aren't items in our C class COMAND.
Specifically menu 7.7.3 is called "BT Audio" apparently for them, for us, it's not.

I've poked around the rest of the submenus for a good 30ish minutes without finding anything as obvious, so I just assume it's not possible.

Would love to be proven wrong though.

Have you experienced any negatives? I was wondering about fuzzy background noise with this product...?
When plugged in, does the car still pick up incoming calls via bt?

Tune2Air "works" as long as you understand your steering wheel controls and media screen will only function if you are listening to the music on your device. Streaming does not work. Been there, tried that.

No solution I'm aware of. I have the media interface, and a Brodit mount. I just place phone in mount, close the flip sceen on the dash, and operate the streaming site fom the iPhone 5S screen. Volume works of course, but no visual info, and no track control from steering wheel or control knob.


Sucky deal.

Joe
