I have an 07 with command bluetooth. How do I pick up call waiting? What buttom do I push?

 

I am guessing but the steering wheel ANSWER CALL button would be the logical choice.

 

It is my understanding that call-waiting won't work with the Bluetooth system, which is the main reason that I am sticking with my v710 and the MHI cradle.

This is taken right out of the MB Bluetooth owner's manual fine print:

"3-way-calling and call waiting are not supported from the Mercedes‑Benz Cradle adapter with Bluetooth®. An audible peep will notify a waiting call."

 

jschade, which button do you press to answer call waiting? The owners manual doesn't cover this.

 

Correct. I couldn't get it working on mine. I ended up pushing the button directly on the phone to switch over.

 

I can confirm that. When I hear the call waiting beep, I dig out the phone and use it's button. But usually, I just ignore it and call back when I finish my call.

 

With the MHI cradle system, the beep comes through the sound system, the new incoming call displays on the COMAND, and I press the answer button on the steering wheel to answer, then press the same button to return to my original call. I think the send button on the COMAND can also be pressed, but I just use the steering wheel button for convenience.

 

But this feature doesn't work on the bluetooth right?

 

Anyone tried to send or receive SMS through bluetooth or wire?

 

SMS (text messaging) works perfectly. I get an envelope icon in the status bar, and then press the SMS soft key and read the message on my COMAND screen. I understand SMS does not work with bluetooth, however.

 

In Europe we have UHI not MHI and both call waiting and SMS work pefectly with my bluetooth system.
