W211 Blue tooth Audio upgrade using COMAND deck MoBridge M2

Post by njv »

Hi guys,
I posted the same message on benzworld but thought id pop it here in case it helps any Aussies. I bought the Mobridge from sound labs and fit it a few days ago.
for quite some time I've been annoyed about not being able to stream music through our E class main unit. It had a CD player but thats a bit dated. I did not want to install one of those Chinese abominations as i wanted to keep the original deck functioning. There are a few options but they all sounded a bit complicated. I bit the bullet and ordered the Mobridge M2 Proconnect. I already had Blue tooth phone audio and it was solely the streaming i wanted. The Unit effectively provides
-blue tooth telephone (if you dont have)
-blue tooth audio streaming
-USB input if you dont have
-auxiliary jack if you dont have
It was a real nuisance to install as there is nothing out there so I made this video which i hope helps some people determine if its what they want and if its the right thing for them. If i had clear instructions it wouldnt have been so hard. It works clearly and reliably although the head unit as a controller is not so crisp. I think Dension offered an alternative but i know nothing of it here in our neck of the world.
I hope the video helps.
