How to connect to internet
Hi,
My car isn't connecting to the internet in anyway, I've bought a dongle, plugged it in with USB, connected my phone via bluetooth and wire, connected my sons phone via bluetooth and wire but it keeps coming up with an error. How do I connect the car to the internet, so I can use Mercedes Apps! It is driving me crazy. Is there a router/modem built it into the car, as I can connect my phone to MB WLAN, without any internet capabilities, but the car won't connect to any of my devices.
Thanks

Assuming ROW, you just need a phone that supports BT DUN or BT PAN and follow instructions from your manual.

Reading your previous posts I interpret you might not be from the US (Pounds and roundabouts are less of a US thing). It would be important to know your location (ROW, US/Canada, Japan...).

RHD makes no difference, the Euro market cars are difference in this sense when compared to with the US market cars.
The idea is that COMAND is using your phone for internet access via bluetooth.
I'm not familiar with Android phones but I'm sure there is an application to share internet connectivity via bluetooth (PAN) if the phone does not already have BT DUN support. The car accepts both PAN and DUN bluetooth profiles.

Ah, thought it was something to do with RHD vs LHD like the E63 S AWD vs RWD. I have already connected my android phone, but am looking to connect a device such as this http://www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/re...ashx?width=600. I'm going to my local garage tomorrow to see if they can help me, or if there is some sort of update to support these devices.
You might get better advice from a UK MB forum because the North American approach for internet connectivity is completely different from ours (in Europe). You would need instructions for internet tethering on your Samsung phone, there must be Samsung experts here too? It is not enough to have the phone paired for BT with the car.
