Bluetooth connection

[Michael Byrnes]

Hi,

I recently got a 2006 W209 CLK200. I am having difficulty connecting my mobile phone over Bluetooth. In the pictures attached is what I have in the car. Do i have enough to connect or do I need more. I have tried to connect a few different ways with no joy. Of the two pictures of what is in the car and I'm sure one is for bluetooth connection. I have tried numerous times with no joy. My phone name show on the radio display once but that was it. I have a Huawei P30 Pro phone.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi,

I’m afraid I don’t know about the cables so they could be specific to the Bluetooth or for something completely different. however the item in your cradle is the Bluetooth module needed.

When you search with your phone does it find that cradle?

Have a look at this video and see if it helps?

Cheers

Ian

Hello and welcome

The first pic looks like the Bluetooth “cradle” there was a button on mine you pressed to put the car into search mode.

left pic - is that the expensive Merc Bluetooth SAP device? - if so won't work on an Apple phone ever and won't work on an Android (without serious bodging) - SAP = sim access profile, via a special Bluetooth protocol (that neither of those phone types support) it steals the SIM card data and uses it as though you took the sim from the phone and put it in the merc bit. Great idea no one uses it.

the other picture looks like some serious bodging has been going on to get a USB connection I guess for music streaming. A car from Mercedes your age never supported that stuff... by 2009 the S class had just come across it. Find what on the other end of those wires.... might have some expensive dension kit hidden in there...

the picture in The Blimp75's post is the "normal Merc BT puk" that may work. although the early stuff may struggle. See another recent post on an early UHI equipped car where they say it only functions well using the viseeo MB-2 device
