Guys, to make it clear for everyone, hense why it works for some, and doesn't work for others. There's 3 different firmware versions of the W212 NTG 4.0 Comand unit. The first one, it's like 2009-10, doesn't allow BT audio streaming at all. The second one allows BT audio streaming, but doesn't have the full functionality of the BT audio menu - u don't see the song currently played, or the duration etc. The third final one has full functionality - what you see in the video. Also, there's an extra boost added to the AUX channel as an AUX Boost option, because the AUX signal on the other 2 versions is quite low - you need to crank it up to max to get some proper volume. The Comand Firmware can be updated via telematics disk booted via vediamo/xentry.

Just recently got a W164 ML 63. I can pair my phone with the car fine, the cellphone carrier and everything shows up on the top right, but under Audio there is no Bluetooth Audio option. The COMAND interface looks exactly the same as yours so I’m pretty stumped as to why it won’t play. I can receive calls and go through my contacts but can’t play music. Any ideas?

[@BarrieCrampton]

Not all have audio streaming as it was an extra cost option from new

[@1RobertD]

Quite frustrating it won’t work on my 2012 E250. I can’t see Bluetooth audio. I’ve seen other comments saying it’s an optional extra but I’ve seen others on KZbin also say it wasn’t there then they did something and it just appeared. I’ve tried to connect my phone to the cars aux cable which charges the phone but it will not play music through it. It says it cannot connect, device incompatible. Only had the car one month. Please help if you can. I don’t fancy the bad quality of the Bluetooth app

I have a 2012 e350 4door, does anyone know how I can unlock my DVD to play while driving, thanks! :)

[@BarrieCrampton]

it may be possible to do it with the Mercedes Benz diagnostic equipment, but from experience i recommend that you don't do it. I took a Bmw in swap that had been altered so that the TV stayed on, and it is too easy to take your eyes of the road, i soon got it changed back, too be honest with catchup TV these days its not likely that you will miss anything of vital importance, but you could take away something that is vitally important,

why not just pull over and unlock it ? :))
