One of our MD's is trialing an Android Device (Samsung GT-S5570) and is now having issues with Bluetooth connectivity in his E-Class.
His car is a W212 E350 CDI, I believe it's a 2009 model, it was one of the first W212's. He's not based out of my office so I don't know which version of Navigation system he has but he did say that he doesn't believe that there is any cradle.
His phone is currently running Android 2.2.1, FROYO.BUKB1
He has two problem's:
1. The Phone will periodically disconnect from Bluetooth and he'll hear the ping.
2. He can't access the phonebook on the phone through the car (although I suspect that this is because he hasn't ticked the box to grant access to contacts when initially connecting the phone).
I believe that this the first issue, is likely to be a result of either the Firmware version in the car or possibly the phone. I appreciate the details are a little scarce, what other information should I ask him for to attempt to work through this issue?
If it helps the same phone works fine in my E60 520d with BMW factory navigation / bluetooth (including phonebook access).
Cheers...
