Hi, I have a 2012 GLK350 and would be using an iPhone 5 to play music from. Would this device be able to stream music via bluetooth?

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately Mercedes is not supporting the iPhone 5 in vehicles produced before model year 2013. This seems to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue, as this device and the lightning connector will both plug into earlier vehicles but have not produced the desired results in any case that I have heard of to date.

Yes and No it does not support an iPhone 5 because it has a 30 pin adapter however you can work around this issue. You can use an auxiliary cable. You would connect the cable to headphone input on your iPhone 5 and then connect the other end to the audio in jack on the speaker system. Or you can buy an adapter that you attach to the old 30 pin connector the new connector is at the top of the adapter and you simply attach your iPhone 5 and then your music will play through your system. Auxiliary cables are the cheaper option you can find them for around $5 where as the 30 pin to lightning adapter runs around $30.

It works the same. Great device and I use it often. The built in fm transmitter is nice for playing music in the car through the car speakers or in the house using a stereo. Could not get the bluetooth to sync with an iPhone 5 but only tried once.

Haven't tried an iPod 5 specifically but I would assume yes as it works to play music from a docked iPhone 5.

I've have not experienced first hand hearing phone audio through the device. I primarily use it with my macbook. The device does not differentiate music with my mac and plays all audio. I would suspect it will be the same with your iphone 5.

The iPhone 5 is not listed as one of the supported devices. There is a iPhone holder on the front of the device. Because the connector configuration of the iPhone 5 has changed, it would probably not work on this holder. There is also an earphone type connection which would allow you to play music from an iPhone 5. The appropriate cable is included. Hope this helps. You can also check www.iLive.com

If it's non Bluetooth it won't work. This handy little device streams music from your Bluetooth enabled device to your speakers or stereo with an aux input.

This unit is intended to broadcast Bluetooth so the only setup you can think about is plugin in to your iPhone and broadcast music. Still I think it would not work because the Bluetooth used in cars are primarily for phone calls. When I had an iPhone, I could not even use a regular Bluetooth headset to listen to music. I doubt it would work in a car.

The head unit I bought uses Bluetooth to connect. So I didn't need it. You will have use an adapter for iPhone 5 to work with this. Audio only

the tron music player, u get a lot of docks for all ur iphone and ipod models, i would suggest that you buy coolstream bluetooth reciever, this lets you play your music player through bluetooth as you cannot use it with the iphone 5 because it has has the old pin connector....you get the adapter and remote...thats pretty much it..but i would really recommend you buying coolstream..i bought it as well....

I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to. This radio allows me to do all of that with my iPhone 5 over Bluetooth

Hi Brian,1st of all I don't have an iPhone 5 but when my friend connected his iPhone 4s it did not transfer the phone audio just the music. All notification does sound through the speaker so it some times gets annoying because it cuts your song for few seconds.

Yes it can support the iPhone 5 but I really recommend the Bose Bluetooth which has much much better fidelity of sound.

No problem. Just about any Blue Tooth enabled device will be able to play music to this device.

If your car already has bluetooth, you don't even need this device! Just use any bluetooth device like an iPhone, Android phone, tablet, etc. and you should be able to stream music to your car radio. I can't believe this hasn't been posted already!

The Soundfly-i connects via included 30-pin cable, so it will work with devices that use a 30-pin connector. Since an iPhone 5 does not have a 30-pin connector, I recommend the Soundfly View: Soundfly View Bluetooth FM Transmitter with 2.0 inch Screen, WMA/MP3 Player for SD Card, USB Car Charger, iPhone 6, 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, iPad 3, Mini, Air, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, S6, S5, and more For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support
