What system are you trying to connect to (COMAND/Audio 40/etc)?

I don't think I can help, but it might narrow it down for someone who knows what they're talking about.

I use one of the ViseeO pucks and it just works... except that I can't tell which phone number it's going to dial from COMAND so it's hit and miss whether I get home, work, or mobile.

When I connected my Bluetooth phone to my 2008 C Class years ago I had to import the records from my phone, the procedure is in the manual, it's a bit long and tedious as you have to do them individually as I recall.

On older phones you don't always get a pop up, keep an eye on your notification bar as you pair it as it only hangs around for a few seconds.

From memory, if that is what's happening, you'll need to delete the phone from the head unit and start again if you missed it first time.
