Wireless on an 05 R230 ?
Tell me more !
Are we actually talking Bluetooth and HFT pucks ?

Hi,Not to sure there is a WAP function in the on screen menu, the car has bluetooth module fitted where the phone normally sits.

Ok so you already have Bluetooth.
What are you actually asking about wireless ?
I dont see how that could be in the car and why it would be needed. Connection with the outside world is via a mobile phone and within the car by Bluetooth. Sorry for the plain English but I am no techie !

The answer seems to be No to the OP.

You can't use the screen to see anything on the phone beyond your phone book.

Your phone and your mifi dongle can only act the same as they do outside the car.

The mifi uses wifi so no that wont connect to COMAND.

It seems some of the early NTG1 headunits did have a WAP function but Mercedes got rid of it in later versions due to many problems with it.

If you search google for 'mercedes comand WAP' there are some threads about it on car forums.
