UPDATED August 3rd 2010: This post has gotten a lot of attention in the last couple of years, with a lot of people asking why their phone or PDA doesn’t work. Here are some more info from Mercedes and the bluetooth module.
Please visit the Mercedes-Benz Bluetooth Connectivity site to learn more on how to connect you mobile device and if it’s supported.
By popular request, Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH is extending its range of communication accessories to include a further Bluetooth telephony solution: the new Mercedes-Benz Bluetooth® (HFP) telephone module allows you to use your BlackBerry® in a Mercedes-Benz passenger car without physically connecting it to the vehicle. The modular solution is specially designed for in-car telecommunication and is also suitable for a select range of mobile phones which support the Bluetooth® Hands Free Profile (HFP). The new telephone module with HFP software complements the factory-fitted solutions currently offered and is available for virtually every Mercedes model series.
Sending and receiving e-mails, making phone calls, checking pictures and presentations – mobile executives can carry their office with them in the BlackBerry® handheld computer. Now, for the first time, the new Mercedes-Benz Bluetooth® (HFP) telephone module allows BlackBerry® 8700g, 8700v and 8707v models to be connected wirelessly to a Mercedes-Benz passenger car.
The new accessory from Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH makes using the phone while in the car even safer and more convenient. The biggest advantage is that the handheld or mobile phone can be left in your jacket pocket or handbag. The wireless Bluetooth connection between the device and the vehicle is established automatically. The module features a single button, which is used to activate the pairing process, where the mobile phone or BlackBerry® is connected to the module for the first time. Once pairing has taken place, connection is always automatic. Integration on board also allows safe, intuitive control of the telephone functions via the multifunction steering wheel, the audio system and the central instrument cluster display.
The Bluetooth® (HFP) telephone module, which is also suitable for Motorola PEBL U6, Nokia 6131, Nokia 6111, Nokia N70, Sony Ericsson K610i, Sony Ericsson W550i and BenQ-Siemens EF81 mobile phones, acts as an extension of the pre-installation for mobile phone with universal interface, a feature which is already present in many of the latest Mercedes-Benz models (optional extra Code 386). The module is simply inserted into this pre-installation in the centre armrest. The Mercedes-Benz Bluetooth® (HFP) telephone module, in independent-design closed-box format, will be available from Mercedes-Benz sales partners from March 2007, and is priced at EUR 250.00, including VAT (price applies to German market).
High-end telephony: the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz Bluetooth® (SAP) telephone module offers even more possibilities
The familiar Bluetooth® telephone module with SAP (SIM Access Profile) technology can now also be used with the Nokia business-optimised E60, E61 and E70 mobile phones. Business executives who share use of the same car will appreciate the fact that up to four telephones can now be paired with the module. Once a device has been paired, the module instantly recognises it as soon as it is within range and automatically establishes a connection. The SIM card PIN (Personal Identification Number) can now be stored too, making the system even more convenient to use.
Alternative for mobile phones without Bluetooth®: genuine mobile-phone holders from Mercedes-Benz
If your mobile phone does not feature Bluetooth®, the best way to establish contact between the mobile phone and the on-board hands-free system is using one of the range of special mobile-phone holders. The various mobile-phone holders from Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH are tailored to the Mercedes-Benz vehicle models in both technical and visual terms. They allow the mobile phone to be operated using the multifunction steering wheel, and the telephone status is indicated in the multifunction display. While inserted in one of these mobile-phone holders on board, the mobile’s battery is also charged. Before you can use one of these holders, your vehicle must be fitted with the optional extra pre-installation for mobile phone with interface (Code 386) or with the optional extra Mercedes-Benz mobile phone (Code 388).
The Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH range is very extensive and is constantly updated. It currently includes genuine Mercedes-Benz mobile-phone holders for the following mobiles
Nokia 3120, 6020, 6021, 6100, 6210, 6220, 6230, 6230i, 6310, 6310i, 6610, 6610i, 6820, 6822, 7250i
Siemens S65, SP65, SK65, CX65, CXT65, CX65V, CX70, CXT70, CX70V, CX75, M75, ME75, S75, SL75
SonyEricsson T610, T630, K600i, K750i, W800, W800i, W810i
Samsung SGH-D600 and SGH-E720
Motorola RAZR V3, V3i and SLVR L7.

Just traded my Lexus ES for the 2009 c300. Features that work are great. Too bad the electronics are so inferior. No way to export vCard with my iphone? No way to enter addresses manually? The dealer wasted my time thinking they could do it. What an archaic car!
I had a new c280 and when I try to pair my IPHone version 2G the telephone is already connect and paired but I can not see my contact list in the screen and I can not see any number and I have to dial manually, the numbers appaers when I received a call but not my contact list , does anybody knows how to download my contact list into the system and see my numbers????

HI Chaps,
I have a Merc 220 with the blue tooth capability. It will sync with any other phone I like, but NOT my Blackberry 8800! I have tried everything.
The garage said its tricky and that I needed to take it in, but only so they could “play” with it to sort it out. Surely I should be able to do this myself??
Cheers

If I get the 06 ML350 will my phone work with bluetooth? It looks like the vehicle is pre-wired for it. It has the steering wheel buttons and has navigation and the entertainment package…. But will my phone work? HELP!
I am looking to make this purchase this Thursday (5/21/09), unless my phone doesn’t work. Then I need to find a different SUV to buy.
THANKS!

Has anyone paired a Nokia E71 with a Mercedes-Benz Bluetooth telephone module part No.B67875877?
Hello
I have an older telephone module (B6 787 5840) and a COMMAND APS and a brand new HTC Touch PRO2. The old SL75 works fine, but the HTC won’t pair! Anyone an Idea?
Thanks
Hi. I have a Benz with a bluetooth cradle and a Nokia E90 phone. I just managed to get the two connected with the passcode/passkey 62872. I don’t know why on the earth THIS passkey works but it did so thank you very much whoever gave me this information.
I have a 2007 E350 and the iphone.
I bought the V60 adapter with blue tooth. I might have bought the wrong part.
Is there a way to make this work? Is there a cradle or something else I can buy or do or do I have to buy another adapter?
i just bought a 2006 280 slk like 8 months ago, and im just gettin around to playin around with it and tried using the telephone, but when i click the tel on the command center it says phone not installed, and in the manual it reads that if this pops up ” your vehicle is not configured for cellular telephone operation” is this something that is easily fixable? cause when I bought this car they told me I had this function. This may be a dumb question, but How do I go about getting it configured? Do I have to bring it back to the dealer? and is this something they would put in at no costs since my car was suppose to come with it? just curious. I have a 3g phone that has blue tooth capability.. Any info would be great. thanks!
Just bought an E350 and cannot get my HTC phone to download contacts. Mecedes dealer says I need to get the contacts on to a PCMCIA data card then I can copy the data from it to the phone module in the car. Does anyone know if this will work?
Has anyone tried to pair a nokia 6700 with Sap v2 bluetooth kit? Did it work fine?
The bluetooth phone connection on my new C-Class is extremely loud. I have tried everything I can think of to turn it down. Lowering the volume on the phone, on the audio system and no joy. Anyone have the same problem?

Can any one tell me how to delete the call history in a S320
GVoice is an absolute lifesaver. I can’t believe the functionality that it offers, such as the ability to forward calls. I have invites if anyone wants one. Also I hope that Apple rethinks the Google Voice app, hwo could such an killer program get denied by Apple?
I need help!I am using HP 612c phone,but which cann’t connect Bena car’s bluetooth system ! who can help me?
i just bought a 2006 ML350 that does not have the integrated phone pack. At the end of the day I would like to have BT connectivity. Can anyone tell me what I need to buy to retrofit this?
There is a major functionality defect in the bluetooth module for my 2008 E350 with COMAND. The Bluetooth module does not turn off with the car, and stays paired with your phone until you actively break the connection by moving out of range or by disabling bluetooth on the phone. Not a big deal? Oh yes it is, unless you park your car 50 feet away from your house it is, I am at home asleep while my phone remains paired to the car. Furthermore, the bluetooth unit re-pairs with the phone without turning on the car – all you have to do is open the door. So after diligently remembering to break the connection, you later send your wife out to get something from the car and boom – your phone is taken over again without you knowing. MB blew this one, and was clueless about what was needed for bluetooth functionality.
My ipod device 1G is a essential iPod, Pda and a bit more, also has has been day that I acquired it. It still run the recent iPod system software program, and any iphone app I want it to operate. I’m using it to leave this remark right now. Iwould say it is really a much more when compared with just an “excellent hobbyist system” — you’ll find it an superb iPod
I have a 2007 E550 whats the best bluetooth device for my Iphone 3G? I also want to play songs without using the stupid jack in glove box
Thanks
I have a 2008 MB S550 that i recently purchased and was trying to connect my Blackberry 8320. The manual indicates that you need a cradle but after looking at your material it looks like there is another option (telephone module). Can you please point me in the right direction.
MY MB C 350 Blue tooth loses my Samsung I 730 Phone, once lost it is very difficlut to re pair with MB, The Authorization code fails and even though the Phone shows up on the MB list of available phone, it won’t get past the pass code process. Any fixex that work?
I recently purchased a BT for my 2008 GL 320. It works fine with my Blackberry 8300. However, it will not allow me to upload my address book from the phone to the vehicle. It also does not remember any numbers dialed or calls received. What can I do?
Had to get a new Blackberry phone, but can’t find the instructions on how to pair a phone with my Mercedes Benz Bluetooth module. Are there instructions available to do this?
is there a way to have bluetooth connectivity between my cls 550 and my palm pre?? Please HELP- thanks.
I have a c280 (2006) and would like to install a newly purchased bluetooth cradle adaptor. The manual says install insert the adaptor into the latches on the pre-installed contact plate located in the center console. Where is the center console, is it the same as the “armrest storage compartment” between the two front seats which contains a telephone compartment? Is the contact plate supposed to be installed in the telephone compartment? I can’t find any such contact plate. Does that have to be installed first? Advise would be much appreciated!!
I owned a 2004 e320. In order to pair with my old blackberry, I purchased a bluetooth device through the dealer. Last week, I replaced my blackberry with an iphone. When I tried to pair them together, it asked me to enter a PIN number. I am wondering who know the default PIN for this device.
Cannot set up my Mercedes-Benz Bluetooth telephone module to work with my Blackberry.
Have a 2004 E320 wagon with Motorola phone cradle, MB v60 Adaptor w/BT. I would like to install a Blue Tooth setup.
Would it be cheaper to just get the phone connected?

hey all, so glad to be talking to you right now! I have only this one question, my sister just bought a pre-owned 2003 E320 Mercedes Benz and we were looking at the options available and we noticed the TEL key so i looked it up in the user’s manual and followed the instructions but the problem was that the only the first step worked which is pressing the tel key, lol, so we but nothing happened. we tried so hard to configure the phone which by the way is a nokia E series but still nothing we tried looking for it further in the guide but nothing and finally i looked for it online and again nothing! I hope any of you got an answer for me! So hoe can i know if the option is available or the keys there on the panel or only available when i buy a separate bluetooth kit?
Thanks in advance

I have a 08 E 350 and it seems like there are 2 options in regards to pairing the phone to the car. I see a more expensive option of around $400 where you connect it directly to the car. It also looks like there is a cheaper option where you just pair it with the phone and car without hooking it up… Am I correct in this thinking?? The dealership says there is only 1 device for my car but after looking online it seems like there is 2??
Thanks
Have a GL 450 with the Bluetooth telephone module. Works great with my iPhone, but not with my Windows Phone 7. Like to see full support for Microsoft Windows Phone 7 devices.
