Play music from my Android Phone

Has anyone figured out how to play music from their Android phone thru the multimedia interface in a 2013 S550?

You need a Bluetooth Audio adapter, like the Tune2Air (available on Amazon). Also click the link in my sig for a write up on the Tune2Air and other S550 audio topics)

I kept playing with it and figured it out. I was able to get it to work using the AUX option under Audio. However, I had to turn the volume all the way up to hear it.

You can eliminate the headphone/aux cable and get more gain using the Tune2Air, and you should get some playlist and song control using COMAND and your steering wheel controls.

Or if you want more volume on Aux, add a Fiio E5 headphone amp between the Android and the Aux In port.
