Hello, for those with factory iPod integration in glove box and hate the fact you have to change the song through the odometer only. I have found a bluetooth receiver that actually works ! Its called cool stream , heres the link:


Thanks.

Do you have pic of it installed?

Thanks

OnlyGerman

No I dont but its a basic small device that plugs into your glove box.
I will post one up soon.

Feedback would be great too. Some of the reviews on it seems like it's a hit or miss depending on the car.

jamesbong

Cool thanks

OnlyGerman

I would give it 8/10 sound quality it's not bad at all , and it should work for all w211 with the iPod input. It's way better than having to use the steering wheel functions ...

Eggrollz

got any pic or video of it working?

OnlyGerman

here are the pics. it shows error but you then control the music from your bluetooth device.

Didn't work for me. I was trying to use it with my Dension Gateway 500 which has an iPod connector. Oh well, back to Amazon.

OnlyGerman

Sorry to hear it didnt work , I'm guessing it only works with the factory ipod.

DubVBenz

I had heard the old cartronics anystream would work with my dension ipod adapter, but unfortunately, those are hard to come by now..

quick question, when you are playing music via this bluetooth device if you press up or down on the steering wheel does it switch to the next song?

thanks,

OnlyGerman

No it doesnt , only through device.

delviacv2

thankyou, I read somewhere that the old cartronics anystream used to do that.

Hi all,

as it was no more possible to buy the anystream, I bought the ML-D100.
It works and I have a decent sound streaming audio from my iphone 4S.
But, when the Ml-D100 is connected in the glove box, if I receive a call and acept it on the MB Bluetooth, sometimes I loose all sound during the communication. This must be a sort of conflict between MB Bt and the ML-D100.
Anyone else had this and managed to solve it? Would the coolstream solve this problem?

Thanks by advance ( and sorry if I made too many errors, I'm french speaking )

OnlyGerman

With the ML-D100 does it connect automactically when the car is turned on or do you have to pair it everytime ?

Le Brol

It connect automatically.

delviacv2

hello, how about the ML-D100, does it go to the next song when you press next on the steering wheel?

thankyou.

Le Brol

Yes, it does.

Everything is fine except I loose the sound from the phone. When I accept a call, I can hear the person who is calling for a few seconds, then nothing. The calling person can still hear me, but I can't hear him until I disconnect the ML-D100

Any idea?

delviacv2

did you try answering directly from the steering wheel?

OnlyGerman

i may switch to the ml-d100 if it automatically connects

OnlyGerman

Those still looking for a bluetooth streaming , I can confirm the ml-d100 music link found on ebay streams perfectly on the w211. Automatically connects , displays "bluetooth" on the odo, and songs can be changed through the steering wheel.

Hi,

I have an 2008 E350 4matic with ipod adapter. I just bought an CoolStream Bluetooth Receiver from Amazon. Hopefully it works with my system. I also have the bluetooth Puck, so will see...

OnlyGerman

Do not use the coolstream, the ml-d100 music link works the best. It automatically connects and you are able to change the songs through the steering wheel.

I'm canceling the item (CoolStream) right now through Amazon. Is there a seller here in US of this ml-d100 adapter? I found it only on ebay from south Korea. How about other Brand?? Is this the only Bluetooth Receiver that works in 2008 E350? I found at bestbuy this one:
Aluratek - 30-Pin Bluetooth Audio Receiver


I will try to see if this one works. I dont want ot wait 2 weeks until the ml-d100 adapter arrives.

Thanks,
Dan.
