iphone connected via bluetooth but no audio streaming?
I recently purchased an e class coupe with what seems the basic audio system, however it does have bluetooth connection and have managed to get my phone connected for the purpose of making and receiving calls. for what ever reason (maybe not possible) but i can not get my music to play through the bluetooth the only way i am able to play music off my iphone is through the aux cable located in the glovebox :/ if anyone could help would be very much appreciated.
thanks guys

Tommy,
It would be helpful to know what year your car is, however your problem has a simple solution. You need to update your Comand software to allow Bluetooth audio streaming. If you check the forums you'll find instructions on how to activate Bluetooth streaming using the engineering menu. Once that is done Bluetooth streaming will be a menu choice that you can use to pair your iPhone... yes you need to pair it for making calls *and* Bluetooth streaming. If you have problems with Bluetooth your car needs a software update which you can get at any MB dealer. Dealers vary on whether they'll do this. It helps to have a friend in service that will do it under warranty.

Yeah from the reading up and research i have done i dont think it is possible with the 2009 model, however i did give it a go getting into the engineering mode to see what i can find and will show you a step by step picture guide of what i manged to get to.
Fist step got into the engineering mode. went to the bottom and clicked on 'ExtPlayer'.
This then came up and went onto bluetooth audio.
This then appeared where i pressed next.
Then this one so i did the same again in the top right hand corner.
And then finally got to this which was set to off so i changed to ON but nothing has changed and no audio through bluetooth
looks like it just cant be done, anyone got a new system for sale they want to sell ha.
