Samsung Galaxy S3 Issue
Hi, I have a 2009 E350 4-Matic and when I pair my Samsung Galaxy S3, everything works, contacts, voice dialing, etc. When I make a call or answer a call, I can hear the caller but they cannot hear me. I borrowed my son's iPhone 4S and paired it and it passed all tests, people could hear me on the other end and I could hear them on my end. Any thoughts? I'm so frustrated I'm ready to sell my S3 and buy an iPhone.

My 2007 E350 doesn't have factory installed Bluetooth. I use one of the Bluetooth "pucks", since my car is wired for it. I have the same issue, but my phone is not one of the supported models. I don't know whether yours is or not, but you ought to be able to check, I would think.
Some people solve that issue with a software/firmware update for the phone. My poor old phone is so basic that none will be forthcoming. I can solve the issue for a while by unpairing and deleting the device from the phone completely (even taking my phone battery out to erase the last vestiges). Then I re-pair and everything is fine (until it isn't again). That can be hours, that can be days or weeks.

Which puck do you have? Mine is the newer, smaller all-black one.

I only have a problem with my iPhone, when I have the Media Interface Plus plugged in. This allows bluetooth audio streaming, it must get confused with the telephone bluetooth. My problems are exactly as you describe and I just unplugged the device.
