If I remember correctly from last year, the SLS has an older type of Comand system which can't transfer read your phonebook directly via bluetooth.
At the time, there wasn't a cradle for my iPhone 4S so I got round this problem by buying a cradle for one of my old iPhones (3GS), uploaded my contacts to that old phone, paired the cradle to the car, then my phone to the cradle....eventually enabling me to upload my phonebook . This solution meant I had to keep my phonebook updated on 2 phones which is less than ideal.
This time round and same problem - I now have an iPhone 5S and it appears theres no cradle which will enable the phonebook to be transferred to the car (there is a cradle available, but it only charges ).
So, I've bought one of these:
Mercedes Benz HFP Bluetooth Mobile Cradle - Part B67876168
If I've read this right, this plugs into the car as a cradle would but, instead of you needing to plug the phone into it, my iPhone 5S will pair with this cradle by bluetooth, thus enabling my contacts to be uploaded to the car.
Have I got this right and have I bought the right product to do what I want to do?
