Mercedes-Benz Audio 10 CD (MF2910) - Bluetooth / AUX Tutorial & Thoughts

[@Darieee]

my eBay store: www.ebay.com/usr/darie.h (if you buy directly from me, I can offer a better price - eBay's fees are through the roof - but -- they do guarantee any purchase, so, yeah)

[@vinci6k]

Hi Darieee, do you still mod these head units? I'd like to send you my unit.

[@Darieee]

sure do 🤘 write me an email at lipton5001 yahoo com

[@vinci6k]

​@@DarieeeHi, I've sent you an email a couple of days ago. Just checking here if you received it. Looking forward to your reply!

[@askbascombe]

Generous contribution, thank you

[@unocolombia]

I think I know the answer to these questions, but nevertheless I just want to confirm... 1. This mod makes the AM radio no longer functional? 2. The mods on the front panel matrix make the buttons unusable in the FM Radio / CD? 3. I guess mods on the front panel matrix can't be done in the MF2199 or is there a way? Thank you for the detailed instructions :) Greetings from Colombia

[@Darieee]

1. correct - AM will be no longer usable 2. correct - we are completely repurposing them for the bt board 3. indeed - anything's possible, but that removable doo-dad will probably require a bit of extra work .. probably not worth it instead of just getting a non-removable face plate audio 10 cd

[@Evo2inside]

Why do you supply 12v constantly to the BT board? Switched ignition would be better, because otherwise it will drain the battery, and it would not disconnect your phone when you are next to your parked car.

[@Darieee]

the buck has an enable, which I'm using so unless the radio's on, the bt board won't see its 5v also, using the ignition is suboptimal, you might want to use the radio, with bluetooth, also when there's no key in the car 🙂‍↔️

[@roymongelli2536]

I have a 2003 clk 320. Are you in the USA? Can I ship my head unit to you and you install Bluetooth?

[@michalmalenda4675]

Hi,i did your modification and it works but sound is flat and quiet. I set phone vol. to 100 and it still is very poor. On FM band sound is very good,AM only. Any idea why?

[@Darieee]

did you mute AM on the mixer chip ? all grounds ok ?

[@LucianKel]

Nu trebuie să te scuzi, toată lumea funcționează în acest mod. Așa se procedează pentru a putea avea o activitate de succes. Îți doresc să îți meargă bine în noua activitate.

[@Shadowdarknessone]

are you still fixing radios. and are you located in germany still. I got a rare japanes car radio. and i cant find anoyone thats willing to fix it. i dont think the it issue is to major. sometimes the screen goes dark. when i push on the front cover. it comes back.

[@Darieee]

hey ✌️, unfortunately those japan radios are filled to the brim with obscure and irreplaceable ICs .. so, I guess that's why no one wants to come near them I'm afraid I too will have to recommend you move to a german-made unit ☹️

[@rokasbaltusnikas6065]

Hallo. I appreciate your good will to share the long-collected knowledge with wide audience, and would like to ask, are there plans to share bluetooth connection methodics to the Bosch 1150 (APS bt-2), as it is completely different unit. Thank You.

[@Darieee]

coming up very soon 🤘

[@HazemHawwash]

Hi there. Im trying to do this for to a BE2210 special. Is there anything different I need to do? Thanks

[@moncearazvan]

Hello,i double and triple checked pin 42 to ground connection but i can still hear the AM sound.Any ideas?

[@Darieee]

quadruple check 🌚 any updates ?

[@mutleybird]

Do you know the sequence of button pushes that will get you into the service menu? I want to change a regular unmodified radio, including AM, from european station intervals to american. (such as american being 10khz between channels, and european being 9 khz, and whatever is similar for FM intervals?)

[@Darieee]

there was one for the becker audio 10 CC as far as I know, there isn't any option for the ALPINE Audio 10 CD but if you do find it - please drop it in here ❤️

[@mutleybird]

@@Darieee OK. I'm also looking for the same thing for a Becker Indianapolis. There must be some repair professional manual that has this info for service menus not available to the general public.

[@Darieee]

yeah .. there are .. but somehow only a small small fraction were scanned and put online ☹️☹️

[@BorcsDavid]

Is that work also on Audio 10 Casette (BE3103)?

[@samwellfoden]

Thanks for sharing this I appreciate it! Do the steering wheel controls work with the button mod? I wasn’t sure if they would pass through the same places

[@Darieee]

unfortunately not :( getting those to work would require quite the involved solution

[@BrianVEVO]

Very nice! If you have the files I would love to see where you achieved this with AM injection on the Audio 30 CC (Alpine). I found the points on benzworld or somewhere to connect over the cassette lines, and then used a QCC3031 that would power from the tape motor and pair. This worked nicely for a few months, but the cassette unit later stopped spinning and now always ejects the tape because of the 'stuck' detection 😢

[@Darieee]

will get to it in a few weeks ✌️

[@BrianVEVO]

​@@Darieee Thank you for sharing what you've learned about these radios. I wouldn't feel guilty about having not done so before, it's the nature of running any specialized business. Your videos on this subject were very helpful and sparked my interest in these kind of DIY projects.

[@Archmardi]

I will be very happy to see the solution on CM1031. At least a clear AUX without ground noise on AM injection. Because i couldnt find any solution for AUX

[@Mekanik_samaran]

Can u make video for be2140 ? Please

[@UnH1ng3d]

Could you explain how to work out the code?

[@Darieee]

you buy it off of ebay - it's based off of the serial number

[@UnH1ng3d]

@@Darieee Oh right 😞 I thought you knew how to work it out yourself. Thanks for replying so fast anyways.

[@arturschocki]

i believe the function for generating the code has to be surjective, because there can be / are far more than 100.000 serial numbers. serial numbers are unique, codes are not. so surjective

[@Darieee]

no but - surjective means that all CODEs are touched at least once .. and it doesn't have to be surjective, because the code 00000 .. as far as I know - or codes with many repeating digits - seem to be methodically avoided

[@arturschocki]

@@Darieee aha i didnt know that, that means it is neither surjective nor injective

[@arturschocki]

Außer die Zielmenge ist gerade die von dir beschriebene Menge an zulässigen Codes. Dann wird es wieder eine surjektive Funktion.

[@Darieee]

es kann eine surjektive Funktion sein - aaaber - wie gesagt - CODEs mit 3 identische Zahlen nacheinander habe ich nie gesehen .. 4 auch nicht, 5 auch nicht .. so zB 88888 würde ich behaupten war nicht gewünscht, und gezielt nicht als Ergebnis erlaubt .. falls du dieses Funktion finden kannst, deustche Foren oder so .. wäre es unglaublich cool ♥️

[@hammadialfakhri]

I did this but I'm having ground noise 🥲

[@Darieee]

does your bluetooth module have an isolation transformer on the input ?

[@hammadialfakhri]

@Darieee I don't think so, I'll check tomorrow. If it doesn't have one would a voltage regulation IC like the LM317 be enough?

[@Darieee]

@@hammadialfakhri nono - there are modules that come with a DC DC converter, which galvanically isolates both the + and - rails, so, any noise happening on the bluetooth chip side doesn't spill back into the radio

[@benhonna]

R.I.P.

[@Darieee]

will still be accepting client radios most likely ✨❤️
