Sorry for the silly question, what does this do,I cant connect my phone to this thru the bluetooth option on the command screen

 

[Jigglyjohnson]

[NobbyDean]

Ok thanks , so is this bit totally useless without getting a bluetooth module

 

[Jigglyjohnson]

Double check with your local dealer and see what they say

Do you have a UHI ? electrical connection in the drivers armrest cubbyhole thingy . This is where the Bluetooth module usually connects to

Yes W1ghty there is one of those in the centre armrest with a little plastic cover over the connector, do I just buy a module and plug it in that,I've seen somewhere that you need a uhi lead as well?

Is you car a W216?

The pre-facelift had COMAND NTG3 which does not have built-in Bluetooth and the telephony option requires a separate Bluetooth module.

The 2010 facelift got NTG3.5 which has the Bluetooth functionality incorporated into the COMAND system.

The caveat is that you'll get 2008 style bluetooth, which is fine for calls etc. but can't do all the music streaming and navigation stuff. (I think ...)

^^^^ Correct , and OP if you go for a HFP unit make sure you get the correct one . Externally they all look the same but are not. Catalog
