Bluetooth Audio
Hi everyone. I'm new to the group and enjoying all of the helpful insight.
I have a 2012 GL450 with Command and can't seem to figure out how best to stream Bluetooth audio from my iPhone6s. I do not have the media interface add on but from what I've read, that may not be compatible with newer iPhones.
My iPhone is paired to Bluetooth for calls and voice texting, etc. but no luck with Bluetooth audio.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Rick,
I have an IPhone6 and use the Viseeo Tune2Air dongle. It connects to the media connector cable in the glove box. Just pair on your phone, select it in the Benz command module under "media" and enjoy. On your iPhone you'll need to be paired to both Benz bluetooth and Tune2Air simultaneously, they work together well, especially when using your driving/GPS apps, making phone calls/verbal hands-free texting via Siri and streaming music. It works well with iMusic, Spotify, etc. Just make sure your iMusic account is signed in and working, this enables the streaming to work on your phone (shrugs). You can use the controls on the dashboard/steering wheel with Tune2Air and the music metadata will show up on the screens. I like it so far, had it for about a year, no issues and it's powered by the media connector cable, no additional power source needed.
