My short how to connect your phone to your Mercedes Bluetooth system
making sure you have your adapter fitted.

See below step by step.

It can be tricky to get Bluetooth working seamlessly in older Mercedes models like the W211 (E-Class) and W219 (CLS) with the COMAND system. These cars didn’t have built-in Bluetooth audio streaming in the early years. Here’s a breakdown of common solutions and how to connect them:

1. Bluetooth Phone Adapter (Puck):

What it is: This is the most common factory solution. It’s a small device that plugs into a connector in the center console or armrest. It allows for hands-free calling but usually not for streaming music.
How to connect:
Make sure the adapter is properly plugged in.
Go to the COMAND system’s phone menu.
Search for Bluetooth devices on your phone.
The Mercedes adapter should appear. Select it and enter the pairing code (often «62872» or «1234,» but check your adapter’s manual).
2. Bluetooth Audio Adapters with AUX Input:

What it is: These adapters plug into the AUX input in your glove box (if your car has one). They receive audio wirelessly from your phone and send it to the car’s stereo.

How to connect:
Plug the adapter into the AUX input.
Power the adapter (usually via USB).
Pair your phone with the adapter via Bluetooth.
Select «AUX» as the audio source on your COMAND system.
3. Bluetooth Adapters with Media Interface:

What it is: Some newer adapters are designed to integrate more deeply with the COMAND system, sometimes using the CD changer input or a specific media interface port. These can offer better control and potentially display track information.

How to connect:
Installation can vary significantly depending on the adapter. Some require removing the COMAND unit to plug in cables.
Follow the instructions provided with the adapter carefully.
Important Notes:

COMAND Version: The specific features and compatibility can depend on the version of your COMAND system (NTG1 or NTG2).
Adapter Quality: The quality of Bluetooth adapters can vary. Look for reputable brands and read reviews before purchasing.
Phone Compatibility: Some older adapters might have compatibility issues with newer phones or Bluetooth versions.
Professional Installation: If you’re not comfortable with car electronics, consider having a professional install any adapter that requires more involved installation.
Troubleshooting:

Pairing Issues: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and that no other devices are trying to connect to the adapter.
Audio Quality: If the audio quality is poor, try adjusting the volume on your phone and the COMAND system.
Adapter Not Recognized: Double-check all connections and make sure the adapter is powered on.
