Converting w211 to Bluetooth?

[orangeboy]

Hi guys,

I have a w211 from 2004, which of course has no Bluetooth capability....what's the easiest way to steam music from my phone?

Can I use the pin plug inside centre console with some kind of Bluetooth adapter? What kit would I need?

Or should I just install a parrot device?

Thanks

Is this the kit I need?

Plugs into centre console phone socket?

That looks like the media interface connector, not the centre console phone on that the Viseeo etc work with (though I have been wrong before)

Drop your VIN in an email to Comand on line and they will confirm what you need.

If it's as I think (and my had in my CLK) it will be the forums or eBay that turns you one up though

Have you got an aux socket inside the glovebox?
You can connect your phone to that with a 3.5mm jack plug and stream music but you won't have the steering wheel controls to change any setting like volume/tracks.

I haven't seen that unit you have linked so no idea on how well it works. Have you got an i-pod media socket in your car?

Thanks for replies!

Cannot see any aux socket in glove box...car is from 2004, so no iPod socket.

Only socket I can see is phone connection inside centre console.

Vin is wdb2110262a627813

If someone could link to the adaptor I need that would be great.

Cheers

It does have 527 COMAND APS and should have an AUX connector in the glovebox. Have another careful look.

Give ComandOnline a call with your Vin# and they can advise what you need and how much.

Thanks for your help.....It's really well hidden and had to crouch down to find it!

Will buy necessary cables & Bluetooth adaptor.

Thank you

Without changing the headunit you’re pretty much stuck with the aux/Bluetooth adapter option.
