Hello! I just bought a Preowned 2010 E350. I was able to pair my phone to the Bluetooth to make and receive calls, However I cannot connect my phone to the Bluetooth Audio feature. How can I stream music from my phone via Bluetooth? I tried to connect with Bluetooth audio, input the pin and then it says unable to connect. I have the Harmon Kardon system.
I think there was a separate option for BT streaming audio when I looked at mine. I was able to do BT phone calls, but went to the engineering menu and saw that another BT option was set to "disabled" so I enabled it and was able to stream from there.
Did this get solved yet? I am able to make calls as well. I went into EM and turned on "BT Audio" and i get the same screen notice as Must2fa for my iphone6.
Go into the engineering menu, find the option for BT Audio, and enable it.
Hi I have a 10 e350 also.. I tried enabling bt audio in the engineering menu and it still didn't change a thing! Please help I would love to have Bluetooth audio in my Benz
Correction, Amazon Prime Music plays with no info, Google Play Music plays and can Ff and Rew but no info. I dont use spotify or pandora so i cant comment on those.
The unit can remember multiple phones, it will autoconnect to the last used device.
I'm using an iPhone 6+ on iOS 9.3.1 if that matters.
Try to connect as an "External" device.
I have to connect as an "external" device everytime i want to stream from my iphone
i got a 2011 E class with comand NTG4
On the screen where you see your iphone, got to "options" and try to connect as an External device from there.
I went through the EM and was able to sync my phone as a BT Audio device. I ran into a problem where everytime i shut the car off, i had to go through the pairing process (authorize/unauthorize device, then pair the device) which became a bit too much for me to handle.
Solution: Dealership can/would upgrade the comand(sp?) software to allow my iPhone to connect/reconnect automatically. Free under warranty or costs about 400USD (2hrs of labor) if its out of warranty. or maybe free if you knew someone at the dealership or whatever.
second option (which i took/osugrad2x's recommendation plus a little bit of what i found out today)
I bought the adapter from amazon. Here are a few things that I found so far,
Its glitchy (wont mention everything TMI)
You will get the title of the track every once in a while 40/60 chance (netflix, youtube, pandora, spotify, music/itunes app) to me that wasn't that much of a big deal because I was worried about the audio and being able to sync my phone automatically after shutting the car off/on.
sometimes the titles are mixed up but controls still work. sometimes it just freezes (audio still plays) and you'll have to use your device (in this case iphone) to skip and stuff.
What i found out today( not sure why it took me this long),
You can sync your phone to both the Tuneair bluetooth adapter (for audio) and your car audio (for handsfree) and it will work just fine.

If you ask me the second option was way cheaper and much less of a headache to work with.

Yes it gets glitchy once you leave the music app and play music from other apps.
For the auto connect with both. I took one of the Amazon reviews notes. Turn the Benz bt option off. Connect the adaptor and connect your phone to it, it will connect to audio only. Now turn car bt back on and pair your phone.
From this point it should connect every time you get near the car to the adaptor and then the car as a phone when you turn car on. I like this cause the music starts playing when you get in as if you left the radio on, no waiting or button pressing.
I eventually turned the bt audio back off in EM because my phone stopped connecting as phone. Not sure what happened so I just went back to what works. The wife is happy as well.
Side note. I found a hardware option in EM to turn bt transceiver on, which was off by default. But turning it on didn't do anything but cause more erratic behavior.
