I wonder if any more knowledgable members could tell me if I am trying to do the impossible?
Car is 2006 W209 coupe with NTG2 Comand and w386 phone prep.
Car is new to me, and looking at all the phone options (Viseeo MB4, HFP, SAP etc) I thought SAP with a SIM card would suit me best. I use a Lumia Windows phone and am very short of power sockets (only 1 in front). The plan is to use a dedicated SIM (Vodafone PAYG) in the car and divert my mobile to it when driving.
So I acquired a SAP v4 (A212 906 53 02) as listed on the Mercedes-Benz mobile website against a W209.
However, the instructions for it address Bluetooth phone connectivity in some detail, but do not cover authorising the connection to Comand when using a SIM card inside the SAP.
I managed to get some connection as the phone book on the SIM card did load into the Comand unit, but I seem unable to locate the authorisation code that the Comand unit is asking for.
It doesn't help that the SAP unit came from Germany with a Dutch manual. I have downloaded the Mereceds-Benz mobile site instructions for SAP v4 (which are headed v3 by the way), but they only talk about Comand generating a code for entry on a mobile phone.
Is there anyway to set this up?
