To activate Bluetooth in an old Mercedes S350, press the Bluetooth button or phone icon on the in-car multimedia panel, or press the "PHONE" key, or enter the system to enable the car Bluetooth. Here is some related information about car Bluetooth: 1. Definition: Bluetooth/car phone is designed for driving safety and comfort, allowing drivers and passengers to communicate with the outside world without the need for cables or phone holders. 2. Types: There are two main types of car communication products on the market: car phones and car Bluetooth hands-free phone systems (referred to as car Bluetooth hands-free). The main difference between them is that car phones require a SIM card to be inserted, while car Bluetooth hands-free does not.

The old Mercedes S350 is a joy to drive, and I’ll share the Bluetooth pairing method with you. Start the vehicle’s engine (keep it running), then locate the COMAND system button on the center console and press it to enter the main menu. Navigate to the ‘Settings’ or ‘Phone’ section, where you’ll find a Bluetooth toggle—turn it on. Next, enable Bluetooth on your phone and search for new devices; you should see a name like ‘MB BT.’ Select it to pair. The default password is usually 0000 or 1234; skip if not set. Once paired, you can make calls or play music. Note that Bluetooth support in older 2000s models is limited, and newer phones may not be compatible—check the owner’s manual before pairing. During maintenance, ask for a system update to improve Bluetooth stability. The process is simple, though the system may respond slowly, so be patient—it usually takes just a few minutes.

As a former owner of an old Mercedes-Benz S350, I've experienced the Bluetooth operation process. After starting the car, don't rush to drive. Press the small knob on the center console to enter the menu. Scroll to find 'Device Management' or similar options, then turn on Bluetooth functionality. On your phone, enable scanning, select the vehicle name when it appears, and pair using the default password. The first time I used it, it took me over ten minutes because the menu was deeply nested and the old interface design was laggy. Bluetooth works well on older phone models, but modern iPhones might fail to connect - you may need to restart the system or power cycle the car to retry. During regular maintenance, have technicians test the Bluetooth to ensure the module isn't faulty. Nowadays Bluetooth issues are less common and can usually be resolved in just a few simple steps.

Start the Mercedes-Benz S350 engine and locate the dashboard button to enter the system menu. Switch to the phone settings area, where you'll find the Bluetooth option—turn it on. Enable Bluetooth search on your phone, pair with the vehicle's device name, and enter the default password (usually 0000). Once successful, it will automatically connect for use. Compatibility note for older models: legacy devices tend to have better support.
