How To Connect Your Bluetooth Device To Your Mercedes-Benz Car

One of the most indispensable gadgets that everyone has nowadays is their phone. However, cell phone use while driving is a big concern in all states. In particular, texting while driving is illegal in most states. This can be resolved easily be connection your mobile or other Bluetooth device to your Mercedes-Benz car!

Connecting Your Bluetooth Device to Your Mercedes-Benz Car

One of the best benefits that leveraging on the Bluetooth system of your Mercedes-Benz car can offer you is increased entertainment options during your car ride. Many cars now feature an infotainment system instead of just a radio and connecting your Bluetooth device and its accompanying data connection can unlock a new world of entertainment. Firstly, connecting via Bluetooth will allow your car’s system to play music that is stored in your phone. This eliminates the need to pre-download and store your preferred songs. In addition, it is also extremely convenient as you are now able to easily play, pause and choose songs without having to deal with the constraints of an AUX cable. Secondly, you can also stream podcasts and music from most supported platforms such as Spotify and Pandora. Certain models can even allow you to stream movies from Netflix! While the driver will not be able to enjoy all of these options while driving, this is a lifesaver for children on long trips or even a group of friends on a road trip.

Handsfree Access to Phone Calls and Text Messages

More important than music is the convenient access to your phone calls and text messages just by connecting your Bluetooth device to your car. This system is generally referred to as a hands-free profile (HFP). Basically, you will be able to access your contacts, make and receive calls and text messages using voice commands. Most head units will even have a Message Access Profile (MAP) that not only displays the text message on the wider infotainment screen, but also operate text-to-speech or speech-to-text functionalities so that you will not have to compromise on communication during your rides.

Establishing Bluetooth Connection in Your Mercedes Benz Car

If you have an up-to-date smartphone, you are in luck because this is such an easy process! Simply turn on Bluetooth on both devices. Click on the “TEL” on your Mercedes Benz’s head unit, select the appropriate device, and click “Connect Dev”. This will then prompt you to search for the device from your vehicle and when found, simply click on the name of your Bluetooth device, and follow the usual pairing process!
