Mercedes has released details of their newest accessory, a telephone module featuring Bluetooth (SAP-Profile). Perfect for anyone who has a tendency of forgetting their cell phone in the typical cradle, the new module with Bluetooth (SAP-Profile) allows users to operate their Bluetooth (SAP-Profile) compatible phones via their vehicle’s multifunction steering wheel, audio system, and central display in the instrument cluster, all without ever taking their phone out of the pocket (or briefcase, purse, etc.).
The system works by first pairing with a compatible cell phone, a process done with the simple touch of a button. The system then automatically recognizes the phone when it comes within the range of the vehicle, and at the same time accesses its SIM card and the phone’s internal memory. This allows the driver to access stored numbers, via the integrated methods of control, without ever touching the cell phone. Even more impressive, the system offers superlative reception and audio quality, due to the fact the BLUETEC (SAP-Profile) connects to the phone’s GSM network via the exterior antenna of the vehicle, as opposed to the phone’s antenna.
If you’re interested, the Mercedes-Benz Telephone Module with Bluetooth (SAP-Profile) is currently available in two variants from Mercedes-Benz sales partners: a closed-box system in autonomous design for 373 euros (German price, including VAT), or as a handset with handrest and passive cable-connected receiver for 406 euros (German price, including VAT). Both models are fitted with a Bluetooth® (SAP- Profile) and a SIM card reader, and their shape and size have been adapted to fit the Mercedes-Benz mobile telephone pre-installation with universal interface (optional equipment code 386, 388). Currently, the phones that feature Bluetooth (SAP-Profile) technology include the Nokia 6230, 6230 and 8800, as well as the Siemens S65, SK65, S75 and SL75.

Only the vehicles produced after mai 2004 with optional code 386 (preparation for mobile phone with UHI) are compatible with this cradle.
It does not matter who is the service provider. You need Mercedes Benz with UHI preparation for mobile phone, the cradle and GSM phone with Bluetooth SAP. As far as i know 9300 is compatible.

Hello
I’m driving a Mercedes E 220 CDI, 2006 with bluetooth. The bluetooth system find my telephone and accept connection, but nothing happens after that. If I push the TEL button at the dasboard the display just say “Please insert the telephone”. That means that I have to use the cable connection (?). But, what about bluetooth. Shouldn’t it function wireless?
I have tried with different telephones, but the same problem. Nothing happens. Can anyone help me?

I have a 2004 CLK55 and am about to purchase the bluetooth adaptor for it.
I have an I-mate JasJam, will this mate with either variant of the Mercedes adaptor, and if not, are there any smart phones that will (or the Motorolla V6).

I have had a mercedes bluetooth module fitted to my ‘05 E320 CDI, it just clips in. The chap at Mercedes-Benz Salisbury, Wilts was able to programme both my Nokia 6230i and 6300.
It works beautifully from the dash and steering wheel.

According to the info on http://www.razrbluetooth.com, the instructions I got with my new RAZR said you need to make sure you’re bluetooth headset is turned off before trying to get it to pair up with the bluetooth in your car. If your headset is on, it will block the cars reception since most bluetooth phones can only be connected to one bluetooth device at a time.

According to below web-page, the Mercedes Bluetooth SAP profile does not support iPhone at all. Is that true? Link: http://www.aktivmobil.no
Also it seems like SonyEricsson , LG , Samsung and HTC is not supported.
It is though supposed to work with Nokia N-series like the N95 but does anybody know if the Mercedes SAP-Profile will import the contacts in the Nokia N95 (Symbian SW) phone memory or will it only import the contacts in the sim-card?
Thanks a lot for any experience shared!
