New owner of 55 reg E280, dealer told me about the bluetooth wiring in the armrest so I picked up the above adapter on ebay.

Disappointed that although the plug on the wired part looks the same, the adapter will not slide on to it and attach?

Are there different mounts on these things.
I find much that I have read very confusing.

Any help would be apprecited?
 
As far as I know, all UHI kits come with the same adapter. Are you sure the part is not somehow broken or the lock pin does not release or something like that?

This seems to be the V1 BT SAP adapter, do you have a compatible phone?
 
I will take a closer look later to see if there is damage either to the adapter or mount.

I assumed as there is no description with the adapter that it is a straight bluetooth adapter compatible with bluetooth phones?

I intended to get an extra sim card, if that is possible, from my current phone provide.

But again begs another question, how does that work, having one sim in your phone and another in the Merc BT adapter?
 
Take a look at the info in this link and see if it helps: > http://www.mercupgrades.com/Choosing+Bluetooth+Cradle+for+European+Mercedes+Vehicles-article-41.html

There are two types of audio technology in the later Mercedes Benz vehicles. D2B and MOST. Its important to know, because the HFP cradle does not work in D2B cars.



I have a 2005 reg C Class, so it may be the same system as your E Class.
Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious anywhere here.

Firstly remove the cover from the connector in the armrest.


I'm using a B6787 5877 adapter. (2 pictures showing reverse side with the socket visible).



Connection to the armrest socket is just a simple matter of placing the adapter over the socket and sliding it forwards until it clicks into place. (Note the little button on top which is depressed to remove it).


Once in place it's just a case of pairing with the phone by pressing the large button at the bottom of the front of the bluetooth adaptor (not immediately obvious that it is a button) and then searching for it with the phone and once found, entering the code number given in the instruction leaflet.

My adaptor doesn't have a slot for a sim card, it relies on info from the phone.

The adapter with the part number as in the thread title is a BT SAP profile device and needs a BT SAP capable phone if used as a bluetooth device. There are other MB (ViseeO etc.) adapters that support BT HF profile, this profile is supported in practise by all BT capable phones.

Indeed you can put a SIM card to this BT adapter because the device is actually a complete dual band GSM phone, plus a bit more. Your service provider may have a dual SIM option where incoming calls (to your number) can be picked up by either of the devices (your cell phone or the car phone).
 
Thanks
Both connectors as shown in your images are exactly the same.
The unit itself is longer...

I cant attach it however I try?

It may possibly accept any sim card but if it is only Bluetooth compatible for British Telecom Mobiles, it will not be any good for me as I don't use BT mobiles.

I also change suppliers and port my number occasionally and am currently looking for a Dual Sim phone. to use Tesco Mobile and Avivo Sims.
 
Could you perhaps post close-up photos from your UHI connector and the connector side of your BT adapter?

I'm not sure if you have understood the dual sim approach correctly. A dual SIM phone accepts two SIM cards which are typically different subscriptions from competing service providers. If you wanted to use a SIM card on the BT adapter (you would not be using its bluetooth feature in this case at all), you should have the dual SIM service, two SIM cards from one and the same service provider and not only that, the SIM cards should be prepared to use the same telephone number (when someone calls you, both phones ring and you can answer from whichever you like. When you place a call, the other party will see a call from the same number irrespectively of the phone/SIM card that you called from.

Now if you were to make use of that bluetooth feature, you cannot put a SIM card to that BT adapter at all. You will need a BT SAP capable phone (in practise all Nokia phones, except Meego and Windows phones, most Android phones should work now, see other threads at the forum about Android BT SAP support, some Blackberry phones may work too although usually with the later BT SAP adapter model only...).

This BT adapter is a GSM phone that makes use of the SIM card from another phone (via BT, after appropriate security measures). The adapter/phone is not SIM locked and as such accepts SIM cards from any service provider. The only restriction should be that usually "3" does not accept these single mode, dual band GSM phones because they don't have their own GSM network (technically it would work but the phone would use another operator always, even if 3 had their own 3G coverage in that area).

This device that grumpyoldgit showed would support BT HF profile and would work (via BT) with almost any phone (both have their advantages and disadvantages, myself I'm using another BT SAP adapter model now with dual SIM service when I changed to a WIN8 phone).
 
OK heres the BT adapter and car socket.
It drops on but will not slide forward.
I take it it needs very little force to slide it on?

Sorry for the delay, missed your pics. I'm no expert on these but......

Looking at the pics, it seems that you have the wrong adapter. I have circled what I think is the problem. You have an additional locating part in the BT Adapter for which there is not a corresponding cut-out in the Car Adapter.





Here's a better shot of my bluetooth adapter for comparison. Note that there isn't the extra moulding part on the l/h/s.

Thanks Mike

The two circled protrusions on the right seem to match up, but I have previously looked at the protrusion circled left and I don't think it is actually a protrusion?

I took the car to the MB main dealer today and a salesman could not fit it, but he brought out a technician who used a bit more force than we were using.

It is now fitted and has picked up the Sim which I installed in it, displayed the sim card phone providers name on the display and has made and received calls.
 
Thanks all for input :)

Internal Sim working OK but I am struggling to connect external mobile BT phone.

I will look further here when I get time, I'm sure its covered.

First of all, the internal SIM card needs to be removed before the BT option becomes active. Secondly, as discussed before, this is a BT SAP adapter and your phone needs to be BT SAP capable (in addition the phone SIM card cannot be from "3").
 
Hi there I'm new to this forum just saw this thread and was wondering will the b6 787 6125 bluetooth work in my dad Mercedes e350 w211 2005 because.

The iPhone problems may not have been caused by the ViseeO adapter. This b6 787 6125 BT SAP adapter however will not work with an iPhone, you would need a BT HF profile adapter.
 
Hi, did you have any joy with Windows Nokia lumia 920 or 925??
I'm thinking of getting the OE Mercedes HFP bluetooth adapter.

Are you able to make calls using your mobile once connected to the Command system??

I'd appreciate feed back.
Thanks
 
Glad you got it sorted. Happy days :thumb:
Hi you really seem to know what you are talking about so I wonder if you could help me ? I have just bought a Merc C200 2005 reg HN55 MGJ. I have the cradle B6 787 5864 in the centre arm rest...can I just replace with Bluetooth Car Adaptor B6 787 5877 and all will work through my steering wheel etc etc ? I have spoken to Merc in the UK and thet need to book my car in and have a look and also I cannot get an appointment until the end of May.

Unfortunately, the person you are directing your question to hasn't been on the forum since Dec 2017 so is unlikely to see this.

If you give the guys at Comandonline a call, they should be able to help you with your query.
Ask for Mark or Richard. 01276 451579
 
Hi Alison,

Yes, it will be fine. The cradle you have is for the Nokia 6020/6021. I've looked up your car and it will be fine. There is more than one part number for that Bluetooth adapter (I can't remember the others)

Your next problem is they are no longer available new. I think we have one used one in stock (talk to Becky on 01276 474900) ..

Cheers
Richard
