No issues with my iPhone.
Does your car see the iPhone? Does your phone see the car stereo (settings on the phone)?
Also, I am required to manually open Pandora or my music library on the phone before the car will play Bluetooth music. Open Bluetooth audio from the stereo menu, open your music files and hit play.
I'll get to my car today and see if I can offer more help.

yes, my car sees the phone, when I click connect, "connection unsuccesful" appears. I don't know how I see the car stereo settings on my phone? If I hit play, the music will only play on my phone, because the phone isn't connected with the car with audio.. Thank you so much for the answer

Does your MB have the command system?
If so, go to the Audio menu button. Pull down and click Bluetooth audio.
While it is in BT audio, click the phone button on the top of the menu bar. It should show your phone in that window. If not, there is a procedure to do that. Unfortunately I forgot how to do it. Should be in the Command owners manual.
Also, go to settings on your phone. Touch Bluetooth. That will bring up the "my devices".
Your phone should be listed. If not, you need to pair it up with BT Audio on your stereo. BT Audio and BT phone are two separate installations. It's been a while since I paired up BT Audio, so I may have omitted things.

How do I authorise my device with bluetooth audio? When I try to find my iPhone in bluetooth audio it now says no compatible devices found.. So frustrating!

I can also click on external authorisation, how does that work? When I click at it, it only says "ready for external authorisation" and nothing more.
