@@jjczerhoniak7263 Damn dude you got me frustrated again at 2am! I actually was able to forget this! Spoilerr tho, I don't have an answer... I just bought a radio transmitter and change to speaker mode on my phone for calls.
If I'm not mistaken, it's a remnant from a time when you could add an optional phone into your car. But built into your car, like a landline. You gotta think this is pre iPhone and back when cell phones where newer and you had to "find" a signal by getting up high or facing a certain direction. I could be wrong, but the person I bought mine from said she had one with the phone when she was younger.
For the phone system you need to have phone that is inside of the cars center arm rest upper compartment. If you have the phone and it has SIM-card you can use car console as phone keyboard. Atleast it is for me like that in my 2004 C55.
@@unrealisticbusiness5169did you ever found out? i got the same model and i can’t find aux or anything at all, just a pre-cut hole and idk if ripping it out shows the aux
thanks for the tutorial, I bought the C220 2004 with the same head unit, but I couldn't see the Surround option. Also, it seems only the door speakers are working, any idea on this?
may not have the Harmon Kardon sound option, since mine is the c55 it had every option accept nav standard for the most part, it would have had to be ordered like that for a c240,c320,c230
On the right side of the radio below the numbers there is something called 'tel' i assumed it was for the phone If you have any idea of how it works please
Great content and information! My radio everything works but the display has no light so i can't see anything. It did work and then suddenly the display is blank but the radio and all button functions work? Maybe a fuse in the back of the radio for light? Thanks in advance...
this is how to install this as an option mine was not there to begin with there is a small cutout in the side of the glove box, on the outside edge by the door, its pre cut into the felt and material to be popped out originally to be installed by dealer, do a bit of digging im sure you will fine what I mean
I have a C230 kompressor with the hardmon Kardon sound system And I see the subwoofer in the trunk but I don’t have the surround sound options any help?
its a factory option, that was installed at the dealer hit the link to the install video, I explain the deal with it, its a kit you can buy for like 30-50 bucks and install in the factory harness. there is a blank plug on most if not all W203s 2005 and up especially if you have this exact head unit!
Man. I got 2007 Mercedes E 220 C class. Only i been looking for how to make radio panel more brighter, any ideas? Becouse in my panel i almost can see the things.
Not sure how to do the phone mode other than a transmitter, but if you have the aux just go buy a standard aux cable then go to probably the same isle just near iPhone stuff and get the little white adapter that's what my husband uses for his iPhone.
So if I can help with the telephone thing... it's not Bluetooth. It's actually for the mercedes telephone system. According to the manual you go to the dealership and they set up a telephone for the car :)
thats awesome, the way I was able to make the car have some decent bass was select the surround or standard setting then go back and adjust up the bass, unless your car was optioned with a lower quality speaker setup, this c55 tho only has the base run of the mill stereo the old man that bought it originally bought it for that sweet v8 lol thanks for the watch my friend.
Bro, I've got a c180 2007 model having that same Head unit, but can't figure out how to connect my Android phone, is there any possible way I can get to connect it by buying an additional unit if possible...I wanna be answering calls arms free... thank😊
yes most just have the pre wired option you install the kit , then can access it by holding the CDC CD changer button to switch the function over on the head unit, should say input active
Hey man idk if you’ll see this because this video is super old but I have a c280 2007 and I don’t have the stock aux hole? Does that mean I can use it?
well the hole is not actually there its a little blank in the side of the glove box you have to knock it out with a screw driver, you may see just the smallest little cuts around the little plug, if not may not be an option on your car. good luck mate
if you have the same style head unit it should be in there, you have to scroll one past the treble and bass settings and then it will automatically have one selected typically speech then simply adjust that setting the same as bass and treble then once it is selected you can then adjust the bass and treble for that setting speech will do nothing on bass adjustment if not I would go aftermarket head unit, thanks for watching and commenting buddy!
old mb with old bt technolgy will not support audio it will support calls only. original mb bt is old tech. mine 2009 and still had original bt old tech. you can buy bt cost $13 $15 and connect to unit it will provide audio for music from phone and support music. other tech now adays a bt connect to phone to provide audio and call connectivity with mic then broadcast FM to radio and listen as radio station. seen that and watting for one to arrive .easy cheap option.
