Pairing a smartphone using the AMG steering wheel controls is a straightforward process, typically involving the MBUX system, which integrates seamlessly with your smartphone via Bluetooth. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to pair your smartphone using the steering wheel controls:

Steps to Pair Your Smartphone Using the AMG Steering Wheel Controls:

1. Turn On Your Vehicle

  • Ensure your vehicle is in "Park" mode, and start the engine (or switch to the accessory position if required).

2. Activate the MBUX System

  • If not already active, press the “Home” button on the MBUX multimedia screen or use the touchpad/rotary dial to bring up the main menu.

3. Enable Bluetooth on Your Smartphone

  • Open the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone (usually found in Settings > Bluetooth).
  • Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on and your phone is discoverable by other devices.

4. Access the Bluetooth Menu on the MBUX System

  • On the MBUX display (on the infotainment screen), navigate to the "Phone" or "Bluetooth" section.
  • You may have to select "Add New Device" or "Pair New Device" depending on your vehicle's version.

5. Use the Steering Wheel Controls to Access Bluetooth Settings

  • Locate the controls: Use the steering wheel's touch control buttons (depending on the model, they may be on the left or right side of the steering wheel).
  • Use the up/down arrows or touch-sensitive pad to navigate through the menu options on the MBUX system.
  • Look for a Bluetooth icon or a phone-related option and confirm that you are in the Bluetooth pairing mode.

6. Select Your Smartphone

  • Once the MBUX system detects your phone, it will display a list of available devices.
  • Use the steering wheel controls (arrows or touchpad) to select your smartphone from the list.

7. Confirm Pairing

  • A confirmation prompt will appear on both the MBUX screen and your smartphone.
  • Accept the pairing request on your smartphone, and if required, enter a PIN or confirm that the codes on both screens match.

8. Allow Access to Contacts and Media (Optional)

  • The MBUX system will ask if you want to sync your contacts, music, or other data with the vehicle.
  • Confirm your preferences by selecting either Allow or Deny access to these features.

9. Complete the Pairing

  • Once the devices are successfully paired, the system may display a confirmation message.
  • You should now see your smartphone connected on the MBUX screen, and you will be able to use the steering wheel controls to make calls, access contacts, and control media playback.

Additional Notes:

  • Voice Assistant: In many AMG models, you can use the voice control button on the steering wheel to make the pairing process even easier. For example, you can say, "Hey Mercedes, pair my phone" to initiate the Bluetooth pairing process.
  • Once paired: You can use the steering wheel controls to answer calls, reject calls, and navigate through contacts or media.
  • Multiple Devices: Some MBUX systems allow you to pair multiple devices at the same time, so you can switch between smartphones without having to disconnect and reconnect.
  • Troubleshooting: If you encounter issues, make sure the Bluetooth on both the smartphone and MBUX system is active. You may also want to restart both devices or reset the connection settings on the infotainment screen.

With these steps, you can pair your smartphone to the Mercedes-AMG system using the steering wheel controls, making your driving experience more convenient and connected.
