How to Connect a Phone to Mercedes GLK via Bluetooth?
2 Answers
Turn on both the phone's Bluetooth and the car's Bluetooth, ensuring they are in discoverable mode. On the phone's Bluetooth interface, click 'Search for Devices'. Select the car's Bluetooth displayed on the phone, then click on the car's Bluetooth -- Bluetooth Settings -- Pair. Enter the correct pairing code, and 'Connected' will be displayed on the car's Bluetooth.
As a long-time GLK owner, I can tell you that the Bluetooth connection is actually quite simple, though it might be tricky to find at first. When you get in the car, don't start the engine right away—just turn the key to the power-on position. Then press the 'TEL' phone icon next to the center console screen, go to the 'Connect Device' option, and select 'Add Device.' Quickly take out your phone and turn on Bluetooth. When you see a name like 'MERCEDES GLK XXX' pop up in the list, tap on it. Make sure the pairing codes displayed on both your phone and the car's system match—usually '0000' or '1234'—confirm, and wait a few seconds to connect. While driving, calls will automatically switch to the car's speakers, and music can also be streamed seamlessly, which is way more convenient than using an AUX cable like I used to. Sometimes the Bluetooth in older models can act up, but re-pairing usually fixes any disconnection issues.
