Have you paired the phone? Go to: C-Class - Interactive Owner´s Manual [Start] Select communicating, and then the phone make and model to see instructions on how to set it up.

Yes paired with car ok, but as post stated only mobile rings and i dont know if this is correct.

The phone was paired and also authorised to automatically accept connections from the car? Or manually connected to the car while an incoming call occurred?

I just tried my son's phone at my wife's car and the ring tone appeared from the car's speakers. I did not check the phone profile settings, could it use a specific HF profile at the car where perhaps the ring tone was muted?

I also get the ringtone through the cars speakers. When you call the phone and the headunit is in telephone mode does it show incoming call? If it does try turning the volume knob up.

Thanks for the replys,the phone automatically pairs with the car when the ignition is turned on, and when recieving a call the head unit shows the call and asks whether to accept or decline so that part seems to be ok, but still no ring tone through the speakers! everything else seems to work ok any advice?

Hoping I'm not teaching granny to suck eggs, but check the profile that's being used by the phone when it's connected to the car. It will be in the Enhancements menu on the phone, and it could be that it's set to "Silent" rather than "Active Profile".

This:

If it does try turning the volume knob up.

is worth a try, too. The car "remembers" the volume setting on the headunit for both ringer volume and call volume. Get someone to dial your mobile number and while the car is offering you the option to accept or reject the call, turn up the volume on the head unit.

The final option is that Bluetooth is flaky on your 5800. Have you tried another phone?
