After entering, swipe right to find the Bluetooth icon, and once found, click to enter. After entering, scroll down to select a Bluetooth connection icon. In the interface, a list of previously connected Bluetooth device names will appear. Select any Bluetooth name you want to delete by swiping left.

Last time I helped my wife clean up the Bluetooth list on her Mercedes-Benz E300, I found the operation quite intuitive. After sitting in the driver's seat and starting the car, locate the 'System' or 'Settings' icon on the central display and tap into it. Enter the 'Bluetooth Device Management' section, where all previously connected phone names are listed. To delete any, simply tap the small trash bin icon on the right, and a confirmation box will pop up for you to tap delete again. I tried deleting several devices at once by holding down a device name for two seconds to enable multi-select. If you want to clear the entire list once and for all, scroll to the bottom for a 'Restore Factory Settings' option, but be aware this will also reset navigation favorites and similar settings. After cleaning up, I noticed the phone reconnection speed improved significantly.

As someone who frequently deals with Mercedes-Benz in an auto repair shop, it's recommended to delete Bluetooth records in two steps for safety: First, with the engine off but the power on, press the home button on the center console and select the 'Phone' icon to enter the Bluetooth menu. Don't rush to delete devices at this point; it's best to note down the names of commonly used devices. Swipe to the device entry you want to delete, and a 'Delete' option will appear when you swipe right. If the system freezes, avoid forcing it—instead, restart the infotainment system by holding the volume button for 10 seconds before trying again. For older E300 models that use a rotary knob, you need to press and hold the knob after selecting the device to bring up the menu. A crucial reminder: after deletion, make sure to turn off your phone's Bluetooth for 5 minutes; otherwise, the infotainment system might automatically reconnect to residual signals. In fact, regularly cleaning the list can prevent the Bluetooth module from crashing.

Just dealt with the same issue last month. Here's how to delete Bluetooth devices on Mercedes' MBUX system: After starting the car (don't shift gears yet), swipe left on the main screen to enter the 'Smartphone' menu. Long-press the target device name for 3 seconds in the device list - the screen will vibrate and pop up a confirmation window. Can't find your device among many? Use the search bar at the top to filter by keywords. Bonus pro tip: To completely wipe deletion records, hold both the steering wheel phone button and center console asterisk button for 7 seconds while parked - this engineer mode performs deep cache cleaning. Always test CarPlay functionality after this operation.

Actual process for deleting devices on the 2023 E300 model: Push the left steering wheel touchpad to select 'Connections', then confirm with the rotary knob to enter Bluetooth device page. Key point — the new model requires disconnecting the device first before deletion! Tap into device details, click 'Disconnect', then return to the list page to activate the delete button (icon shows a circle with a slash). If the grayed-out button is unresponsive, try turning off the engine, locking the car, and waiting five minutes for system sleep. Once helped a client with an old device occupying the channel issue — discovered that after deletion, you must also clear pairing history in 'Mobile Device Preference Settings' for complete removal. Reminder for Apple users: after deletion, resetting the phone's network settings is recommended.

Simplified steps for teaching mom: 1. After starting, tap the 'Phone' icon at the top of the screen; 2. Click the gear-shaped 'Connection Manager' icon at the bottom left; 3. On the device list page, swipe right to open the sidebar and select 'Manage Devices'; 4. See the delete button next to each device? Tap 'X' to remove a single one, or 'Remove All' to clear everything. Found a hidden trick—long-press the temperature display area at the bottom right of the center console for five seconds to bring up a quick device management pop-up. Also, rainy days increase accidental touches, so using the knob for precise control is recommended. Monthly cleanup helps prevent sudden Bluetooth call drops.
