How to connect Bluetooth for Mercedes-Benz GLE?
4 Answers
Establish a pairing relationship between the phone and the car's Bluetooth. Turn on the Bluetooth on both the phone and the car's Bluetooth device, and set the phone's Bluetooth to 'Visible to all'. Then search for Bluetooth devices on the phone and proceed with pairing and connection. The pairing password is: 0000. Once the pairing is completed, the connection will be successful. After the car's Bluetooth and the phone's Bluetooth are successfully paired and connected, you can make and receive calls; you can also enjoy music on the car's Bluetooth device.
When using the Mercedes-Benz GLE, the Bluetooth connection is actually quite simple as long as you follow the steps. First, start the car to power up the system, then locate the settings icon on the central control screen. Tap into it, and you'll see the Bluetooth option. You need to turn on the car's Bluetooth switch while ensuring your phone's Bluetooth is also enabled. Next, search for devices, find your phone's name, and pair them. Sometimes, you might need to enter a numeric code like 0000 or 1234. Once paired successfully, you can start using it. I usually enjoy playing music or making calls via Bluetooth—it's very convenient. However, if the connection fails, check for any software updates on your phone or the car's system, or try restarting the car's system. Most issues can be resolved this way. The MBUX system in Mercedes-Benz is quite responsive, and using voice control for calls while driving is safer—avoid manual operations to prevent distractions. Once set up, it will automatically connect the next time you get in the car, which is hassle-free.
My wife and I just got a new Mercedes-Benz GLE, and we use the Bluetooth feature quite often, mainly for listening to music and children's audiobooks. The operation isn't too complicated: after starting the car, go to the audio settings section on the main screen, select the Bluetooth pairing menu, and set the car's Bluetooth to discoverable mode. Then, open the Bluetooth list on your phone, search for the vehicle name (e.g., Mercedes-Benz GLE), and pair it. Note that the default password is usually 0000 or 1234—just enter it and confirm. If it doesn't connect, it might be due to old devices not being deleted; try removing previous pairing records in the settings and try again. Once Bluetooth is stable, calls are clear, but we noticed it tends to disconnect when the phone battery is low, so keeping the phone charged is important. For family use, this feature is incredibly practical—kids can play nursery rhymes in the backseat without messy cables, reducing clutter.
At my age, when using the Bluetooth in a Mercedes-Benz GLE, the key is not to make it too complicated. After starting the car, find the settings icon on the main screen and tap it, then scroll down to open the option called Bluetooth; you also need to turn on Bluetooth on your phone to let it search for devices. When pairing, make sure to check the name and enter a simple password like 0000. Once connected, making calls won’t be a hassle. If it really doesn’t work, just ask my son to check the manual or visit the 4S store for help. Safety first—don’t fiddle with it while driving.
