Bluetooth compatability with New I-Phone 4
I cannot get my new I-phone 4 to connect via bluetooth in my 350. My old I-Phone 3 synced up like a charm. Anybody else have this problem or a work-around? Thanks.

There are problems with some Apple products working in the MB. I bought a new Ipod Nano for my 2011 E350. The media interface works well but the charging function does not. The old Ipod works well in both W212s. Dealership tried new cable designed for 3rd generation Ipod, no luck. This is a 5th generation product.
I then contacted Apple and spoke to a supervisor on the technical support line. He says it is not their problem and that the car companies must adapt intergration with their product not vice versa. The problem also applies to Audi and BMW supposedly. The dealership advises me that MB is looking into it. When I called MB for someone in technical support they said talk to your dealer.
Now does this sound like something that will be resolved quickly.
PS Sorry for the long diatribe.

Thanks. When your MB asked to enter an authorization number on the car AND phone how did you enter it into the phone. Was there a default number that you can just enter into the car?

The iPhone 4 synced up great. It also streams audio via bluetooth (all SOUNDS from the phone, Music, Video, Games, Apps like Pandora and even streaming podcasts from the web). I am quite impressed !!
The best part...the Hideous ringing sound went away and now when I receive calls, I hear that nice iPhone "Marimba" Ring Tone when people call
