Question
I have TMobile and a 2008 Mercedes E350. I would like to know which phones NOW available will pair to the bluetooth in my car. The Bluetooth unit is silver witht eh Mercedes insignia at the top.
Please help. All of the phones on the list are no longer even sold.

Answer
All phones will work with the Bluetooth in your car, however, not all phones are fully compatible where you can dial through your car. If the list of phones show a Motorola, for example, then the newer version of that Motorola phone will work. That's a good rule of thumb. If not Sony's are listed, then Sony's won't fully work. But as I said, all phones will work with the bluetooth, it's the integration that may not be full.
