A Mercedes C300 is a great car for commuting, even an older one. And yes, the 2008 Mercedes C300 does have Bluetooth connectivity, though it’s a bit limited compared with modern Bluetooth-enabled systems.
The biggest feature you’ll miss is the ability to stream music during your daily commute. That’s a huge selling point for a lot of drivers these days. The Bluetooth in a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 can make phone calls, but the factory unit couldn’t handle streaming music over Bluetooth.
Aftermarket adapters and infotainment screen replacements can remedy this—some aftermarket head units even allow for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality. And that might be cheaper than buying a newer Mercedes-Benz with more advanced Bluetooth connectivity.
If music streaming isn’t that big of a deal for you, connecting your phone via Bluetooth is easy-peasy. Simply press the “TEL” button on the dashboard or use the “Comand” wheel to get started. You’ll need to go through the “Set Up Bluetooth” and “Add Device” options to connect your phone to the car.
