Hi there
I have just purchased a C180 and I have an iPhone 3G. Can I purchase a cradle to replace the old one in the car so I can use all of the car functionally rather than purchasing a separate phone system?

Cheers Kerry.

I have 07 C200 K, with audio 20 and trying to pair with my iPhone 4 to no avail (not even with Nokia 2730. Anyone have any ideas how to set them up. The bluetooth on the MB is enable and so does on the iPhone 4, but both devices are not pairable .

I have the mercedes bluetooth cradle paired with my iphone 3gs. It works fine except the missed calls list. While i speak, somebody is calling me. I can hear the call waiting tone but i can not see any data on my s-class screen (such as number or name of the person who is calling). when i close the phone, i can only see the missed calls on my iphone screen and not from the car’s screen. Do you have any idea what is the problem?

Sounds brilliant except it’s not true. I have an 07 Mercedes CLS with a Comand interface. My old 1st generation iPhone worked great via the iPod lead and Bluetooth module. The new 3G phone doesn’t charge via the iPod lead due to the loss of Firewire capability and the phone book won’t load names (only numbers) via the Bluetooth module. I therefore tried the new iPhone cradle. After much messing around the parts chap at the garage gave up as the phone works fine but there was no access whatsoever to music via the cradle. I think therefore there is either a)a complete lack of training at MB dealerships, b)some rather exaggerated selling of the capability of the new cradle or c) some serious software upgrades needed. Basically the iPhone 3G has been mis-sold as being even better than the old iPhone when in fact for some like me it’s a giant step backwards. I’m told BMW drivers are similarly affected although I’ve no first hand experience of this. Buyer beware!!
