Why can't I find Bluetooth in the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E260?

You need to turn on both your phone and the car's Bluetooth simultaneously, then pair them. How to use Bluetooth: Press the multifunction key until you see the indicator light turn blue. Use the car's Bluetooth to search for your phone's Bluetooth, or you can also use your phone to search for the car's device. Follow the instructions in your phone's user manual to set the Bluetooth phone to search for Bluetooth devices. Typically, the setup steps involve accessing the "Settings," "Connections," or "Bluetooth" menu on your phone, then selecting the option to discover Bluetooth devices and proceed with pairing. Bluetooth headset precautions: Generally, when the blue light stays on, it indicates that the headset is fully charged. Please remove the charger promptly. It usually takes a little over an hour to fully charge. Avoid charging for more than 2-3 hours. Bluetooth headsets are electronic devices with built-in micro rechargeable batteries. If the battery is damaged, the headset will become unusable. To maximize the battery's effective lifespan, make sure to recharge only after the battery is completely depleted.
I've also encountered the Bluetooth disappearance issue with the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E260. It might be that the Bluetooth function wasn't enabled in the settings at all, or it was hidden in the audio system menu. System freezes or software bugs can temporarily make Bluetooth invisible—try restarting the vehicle and turning off the engine for a few minutes. Phone pairing issues are also quite common; ensure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on and searching for devices, and forget the old pairing to reconnect. If it still can't be found, aging hardware like a damaged Bluetooth module may need replacement, especially in older cars where electronic components are prone to failure. It's recommended to first check the menu settings and phone compatibility. If all else fails, consult a professional technician with a scanner to diagnose the internal system. Regularly updating the vehicle's software can prevent such issues and avoid manual adjustments on the road that could compromise safety.
