Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what make/model of phone fits this plug on my 2009 clk220cdi
Thanks
 
Hi there,I suspect you have opened the centre arm rest cubby hole between the two front seats and found a sort of plug/connection there,you may well have to buy a HFP or a SAP this connects to that plug and then you pair your phone to it then the buttons on the steering wheel will work,look on Ebay ,I am sure there are members on here who might have one to sell there may also be other options as well.

Thanks for your reply, I will have a look on flea bay but if anyone is selling one give me a shout
Cheers
 
What make model is the actual phone that fits the plug? I want to buy the phone and not the Bluetooth adapter

From memory the connector itself is universal, you then need to buy a specific cradle for the specific phone model (or a BT adapter).
 
There is no phone that fits directly into the plug. You need the blue tooth module HFP or Viseo but be careful to check that it supports your phone as the earlier ones will not work with some of the newer phones.
 
The Mercedes SAP bluetooth adapter can use a sim card directly to give you a 'built-in' phone, controlled through COMAND (and steering wheel) buttons.

It will also bluetooth connect to mobile phones that support Sim Access Profile (hence SAP) which gives your mobile access to COMAND and the car's aerial. Its an either/or though, if a sim card is inserted, it drops the bluetooth.

Think the current version is v4, but you may have a problem in that I believe it (and the CLK's aerial splitter) is limited to 900 and 1800 radio bands. I have a SAP v4 in my CLK280 and it works fine with a Vodafone sim card. Bluetooth also works fine with my Samsung A5 (7).

Look on German Ebay for one, much much cheaper than UK retailers.

So, will the vets work on my 2009 clk220cdi with my Samsung j3?

I gave up on SAP. - It didn't work in my CLK (it just kept saying "Providersearch" with a SIM card) so I just use a Viseoo MB2 instead.

Have a look on eBay for cradles and which phones they fit, then look on eBay for those phones, and buy the combination you like best. Cradles haven’t been popular for years, and so handset choice will largely be fairly old now - they became less popular around the time your car was registered as Bluetooth became the connection type of choice.

If the cradle is compatible then the Nokia 6210/6310i was a popular and still is solid choice, but it will be just a phone, and not a smartphone. Alternatively the iPhone 3GS would have been new when your car was registered in 2009, and so should be compatible, and cradles were available for the 3GS (I have one).

I had that at first, but found it worked in areas with a very strong signal.

With DieselBenz's help, found it was a faulty ariel splitter/concentrator unit under the front boot floor. Replaced with an eBay unit and all has worked fine since.

PS Just bypassing the splitter by joining the in and out cables together produced suffiicient signal for my SAP to work. Amazingly, the connectors fitted together perfectly.
