If you're onnecting your iPhone via BT to your W211...

My iPhone works great with the car. It downloads address book, recent dialed/received. Calls are clear, etc.

There is only one thing that doesn't seem to work right. If I go to voicemail on the phone and I try to play a message, there is no sound. When I click on the Audio button (upper right), I see that voicemail is set to come out of the car's speakers via BT, but it doesn't work. I always have to switch it back from "MB Phone System" to "iPhone" in order to hear messages.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Jose

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the 2nd gen BT puck (no tail). iPhone works fine. Only thing is, as I said, I can't hear voicemail through BT.
