I am thinking of picking up a 2010 E63 (Arctic White), doesn't have bluetooth streaming though, and I'm curious to know if there is a way to get it installed aftermarket?

Thanks!

I'm curious too. I took it for granted that my '10 did it anyway as my other MB. I'll check back.

Does it have iPod connectivity? I think the iPod integration kit is an accessory add on and might add bluetooth streaming also. There is some module that needs to be added. Let me know and Ill check on it more and see if I can get you a part # and cost.
BTW my 10 has it on the menu so I assume its there. I can confirm that too if you want.

Sorry to somewhat hijack the post but what exactly do you mean by bluetooth streaming? Are you referring to be able to simply play ipod songs via bluetooth without having to plug it in to the glove box? Would my 11 E63 have such a thing?

lunarx

I thought all 212 AMG had it standard, unless its only in P2.
I never tried it because I cant imagine the sound quality would be as good as MP3.
The USB adapter cable is worth the $60.

Yes, it works with the Media Interface Plus. Picked up my "new" E63 last night and got rid of my C63 Edition 1.

Does it have "bluetooth audio" on the menu, if so then you can stream, if not then it just has bluetooth phone.

lunarx

Yup, It has it in the menu as #9.
#0 is the USB drive.

Congratulations on your E63.
How does it compare to the Ç63?

derek

Odd, I wonder if it depended on when they were produced. Do you live in US, maybe it wasn't available in US for 2010.

How do they compare, well...completely different. Honestly, the C63 a little more fun to drive and faster (mine had a tune though), E63 feels bigger and heavier and more substantial, because it is. Definitely feel safer in the E. They are different animals. Only had the E since last night, so can't give a full comparo yet.

lunarx

Yup, in US.
Also, I have a 10 with an 09 build date.
So you you have Media Interface but not BT Streaming?
Do you have the 6 Disk Changer or the Single Disk?

I never drove a C63 (just a loaner C300) but I do like that they can shift manualy from the console.

Isn't the weight difference only about 260 lb?
The C seems heavy for its size.

Nicely optioned car!

It could be possible you need a Command software update.

Do you have a streaming media capable device paired to your system?

How does your media menu comapre to this:

0-6 Disk
7 Memory Card
8 HDD
9 Bluetooth Streaming
0 USB Media Interface

Just want to share what I have in mine to stream music via bluetooth. I've got the tune2air WMA3000A plugged to the AMI port in my car. It's easy to install and with very good sound quality.
