2008 C63 Infotainment update?
I have a 2008 C63, and the infotainment does not allow me to hook up to bluetooth AUDIO. It does work for phone calls. Obviously the hardware is there to connect to a bluetooth device, but is there software that can be updated to where bluetooth audio can work?

Thanks

Aaron

Our cars don’t support (A2DP) format which lets you stream audio. The easy fix is this below. I just connected this wireless Bluetooth device in the auxiliary with a line isolator so it doesn’t buzz. Now, I’m able to listen to my audio from my phone, google maps audio, and take calls wirelessly via Bluetooth.

Plug the kinivo unit into this isolator then auxiliary cable. It’ll mitigate the buzzing noise.

Kind of interested in the iPod cable Bluetooth adapters. This would allow a device to sit in the glove box without being seen. Any point in running one of those?
