2011 R350 HU engineering menu

Hi all, I'm pretty new here, just picked up a 2011 R350 Bluetec the other week and am still playing around with things and getting to know it. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get into the engineering menus on the HU. I'm curious to see if there is a setting for bluetooth audio streaming like on the C and E class and any other hidden goodies. Thanks for any help.

Hi jentech, there are a ton of threads with different button combinations for different models. I had a hard time finding anything for the R-Class.

It took me a while but I figured out the engineering menu combo for my 2010 R350. Give this a try; it might work on your 2011.

Start the car and set COMAND to radio. Press the red "phone down" asterisk, and number 6 buttons together and hold them down for about 15 seconds. The system will enter engineering mode.

Good luck!

Would you mind sharing any interesting settings that you have reconfigured in engineering mode?

Thanks for the help, it works on my 2011. I did do some searching and googling and tried a few combinations that I found for other models. Thanks again.

Were you able to get Bluetooth audio to work. I have a 2011 and wish it had Bluetooth audio.

I couldn't find anything useful. It looks like the bluetooth hack on the e-class doesn't apply for the 2011 r350. The menu system seemed completely different.
