Can I run audio from my phone through my car's bluetooth? I have an '09 clk550 with Bluetooth option.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum! From what I've read this is possible; but the only requirement for this to work is that your Mercedes-Benz must have the 30 pin iPod / iPhone adapter. In case it doesn't have this, you can simply play your music by plugging in an aux cable.

 

Thank you!

 

Wait. Where is the aux outlet in my car?

 

I think it is in the glove box.

 

I guess I can just get an adapter from the 30 pin plug to lightening right?

 

Yes, that's what I have - I don't remember if I have the Apple one or not, but it sometimes cuts out for me, that's why I started using the aux cord.

 

I bought the adapter for the 30 pin aux cord and I'm now able to play the music on my phone. However, the volume is very low, nowhere near the loudness I get from cd radio or satellite. Does anyone know why? I'd really like to be able to make it as loud as the rest of my audio functions. I still don't know why I can't run my phones music through Bluetooth.

 

Is the volume turned up all the way on the phone that you're using? It sometimes auto adjusts to a lower level when plugged in.

 

My 2013 C250 has a "Bluetooth Audio" selection in the system, which is totally wireless Bluetooth for music streaming. Your radio may be too early a model, but it wouldn't hurt to check if it has this.
