Hi, For some reason, i can hardly ever, if at all, get my e300 p3 to connect to the internet radio. If i use my iphone or ipad in the car, it connects to tunein radio uneventfully.
Am I missing some setting or adjustment that should be made for it connect?
Thanks in advance,
Elliot

I have the same issue with my GLS-450; I can get Tune-in to work on my phone, but it won't even load up on my car.

Login to your Tune-in account from the command. Your presets on your phone will now appear in the presets on the car. Also, if you subscribe to the premium Tune-in channels, they will also be available on the car. I've had NO difficulty using Tune-in when things are setup in this manner.

Oh, it's better to go to the internet radio from the Radio menu rather than through the MB Apps.

I think TuneIn radio has a limited trial period as part of the MBrace entertainment package and if you are past that period you won't be able to connect strictly using your vehicle and no other device you might have an ID and login for. Mine says unable to connect but nothing about being past the trial period (which I am). Haven't tried using my IPhone for it and using the WiFi hotspot to my phone to connect.

Internet access is a subscription feature after 3 months. I believe that the hotspot feature also requires a subscription. I have found the internet radio highly reliable here in Raleigh. I regularly listen to stations in NYC and Washington.

My car is still in the trial period for all things that require subscribing to. I've also given mbrace a CC number to start subscriptions after the trials.

My car was in the dealer for FOUR days last week while they tried at least 4 different downloads from MB. None of them made a bit of difference. WiFi hotspot and Tunein were working when the car was first delivered. What could have changed??

Frankly, getting a little bit irritated at MB. Not because either of those things are necessary to driving, but because they're SUPPOSED to work... so MB FIX the BLANK problems!

Service advisor and service manager at my dealer finally persisted in getting my wifi hotspot and tunein radio working. It took working with MB engineers directly to get a software fix specifically for my car but everything is now working!!

Os this DAB radio you mean or a subscription internet radio?

I wasn't impressed with TuneIn to begin with, and it doesn't really work in my car either. I can use it from my iPhone and I don't use it that way either.

Does Tunein radio require a hot spot subscription (AT&T). The info on the Mercedes Me website suggests it’s an included function and doesn’t mention that a subscription is required.

In the COMAND 5*5 using TuneIN indeed requires use of the built-in data connection, that is 1 month for free, but then requires a sybscription. Real pity, because in my previous car with COMAND 5*2 it could also work via bluetooth tethering using your existing data plan on your smartphone. Bad move of MB (like more things in this 5*5).

Isn’t there a tunein app you can download on the phone itself
just wondering if that would work

HAWKiS63

Yep, you can use any streaming music app in your smartphone and steam wirelessly via Bluetooth, that makes the built in MB apps even more redundant...
