RETROFIT : R230 SL UHI + Bluetooth upgrade (Euro spec) + HOW TO USE Euro Bluetooth
The old curly cord 6310i cradle
Armrest and middle trim removed. The black box in far left is the old control module soon to be replaced with D2B UHI controller
Armrest with parts removed. Ready for upgrades.
Specially made adapter lead for antenna. Mini-UHF on one end and SMB fakra on the other end. Similar treatment was given to the data cable.
New armrest insert
Underside of the insert showing the new connectors
UHI + Bluetooth (Mercedes) now in place
Bluetooth welcome screen
Notes on using the BT system.
======================================
Holding down the MB logo on the BT module for 2 seconds put the BT module into active mode (rapid LED blink)
ANSWER / DIAL / PICK UP: Gives you a list of phones that are nearby or the "search" feature. (on COMAND only)
CLICKING ON THE PHONE: Gives you the pairing code (16 digits)
Other notes
======================================
a) When the pairing is good the system disconnects and then starts up again. If your phone is NOT set to AUTOMATIC then the phone will ask you for pairing permission.
b) To set the AUTOMATIC feature you must look at the pairing profile for the MBPHONE profile inside the phone.
c) There are two kinds of profiles in Bluetooth being used. One is for SIMM ACCESS PROFILE (to answer calls) and one is for SERIAL PROFILE (only used for phonebook). That means if you setup the phone the first time it will reboot twice. If you set the phone to AUTOMATIC then you will not need to answer the ACCEPT request on the phone.
d) "0000" + "DIAL" does download the phonebook but it disconnects first.
e) If your SIM has a pin code it will ask for it each time you enter the car. If you leave the car and do not walk far away then the car will ring and not the phone.
f) Once you tamper with the phone settings in paired mode the phone will disconnect from the car.
Don't be put off by the phone rebooting the system.
