anyone got it working on NTG 4.5 ?

 

How did you get IOS 6?

 

Thought it comes out on Sept 19 or 21.

 

i am a developer, so i already got GM version.

 

Can you please explain what this is?

 

which part ?

 

I think he meant the bluetooth map. I have no clue what that is either.

 

Message Access Profile (MAP) specification allows exchange of messages between devices. Mostly used for automotive handsfree use. The MAP profile can also be used for other uses that require the exchange of messages between two devices. The automotive Hands-Free use case is where an on-board terminal device (typically an electronic device as a Car-Kit installed in the car) can talk via messaging capability to another communication device (typically a mobile phone). For example, Bluetooth MAP is used by HP Send and receive text (SMS) messages from a Palm/HP smartphone to an HP TouchPad tablet [5]. Bluetooth MAP is used by Ford in select SYNC Generation 1-equipped 2011 and 2012 vehicles [6] and also by BMW with many of their iDrive systems. The Lexus LX and GS 2013 models both also support MAP as does the Honda CRV 2012. Apple introduces Bluetooth MAP in iOS6 for the iPhone and iPad.

 

I have not found any option to enable MAP in the engineering menus of 4.5. My software was updated by MB about a month ago.

If it's coded correctly the MB should detect that MAP stack automatically if it is on when the phones are paired. Perhaps the iphone has a setting to enable MAP??

 

Ahhh..gotcha. Thanks for explaining.

 

will try deleting my phone from my car and try to pair it again see if that helps.

will keep you guys updated.

 

Am i correct in assuming MAP would only be in 4.5 systems? Im getting my phoen upto 6 tonight but have an '11 so not the most up-to-date system

 

as far as i understand it should only work in 4.5

 

Damn.....thats what i get for wanting a NA engine lol

 

Yes. works like a champ. If you upgrade to ios6 and you are already paired with ios5, you need to delete the pair and set it up again.

 

You dont need to enable it in the engineering mode. It works by default.

 

i did that, and doesnt work for me, can you take some screenshots ?

 

If you are a developer, then better to ask on Apple forums, more knowledgeable people are there. For those who want to get early version of Apple products I would suggest to register on Apple dev site. It costs $100 a year, but lot of new products you can evaluate.

 

Is Internet enabled on your comand 4.5 system. US 2011 and 2012 cars with Comand 4.5 had internet set off in the engineering menus. When you go to "system" on the top menu, do you see only sirius weather or do you see other options?

 

screenshots of what?

 

i see other options, but i assume you can only use it if your cell phone supports hotspot ?

 

true, but not alot of developers on apple forums drive mercedes.

 

you are saying you got it working, can you take a picture of your screen with text messages showing up on it ?

 

Yes, you need hotspots active...and you need to set up a profile for your cellphone carrier since my doesn't provide them.

 

I dont understand, why do you need a hotspot to get SMS msg on your command ? It should work via bluetooth. Please explain.
