LG Comso 2 and Mercedes Benz GLK350 Bluetooth Connection Problems

Hello.
I am helping a client with her Bluetooth issue. Her couple years old LG
Cosmos 2 (Verizon Wireless carrier) phone seems to have Bluetooth
connection problems with her new Mercedes GLK350 SUV that was traded in
from her old SUV model. It was connected, but it kept losing
connections. Both SUV and phone's screens show connections and
disconnections messages. It seems like there is a connection problem
between them.
I tried fiddling with the settings on the phone, but nothing seems to
help. Even moving closer and farther in the SUV doesn't make any
differences. I tried deleting her two existing "MB" Bluetooth profiles,
but was unable to add a new one even with autodiscovery enabled.
I also checked on http://www.mercedes-benz.com/connect for this phone,
but it only listed one LG phone and was not even close to her phone
model series for this SUV. The phone works without Bluetooth though.
Are there detailed instructions on how to connect these two through
Bluetooth? Or is this phone old and/or incompatible and she needs a new
one?
Thank you in advance. :)

Yeah, but that's old and not suitable for the new SUV. We tried again

and wrote down texts on SUV's screen tonight:
"'MB Bluetooth' found authorized"
"Waiting for a connection to LGVN251"
"Bluetooth device does not support required device" after pairing
passkey and a few minutes.
My client also has an old printout from her old SUV to pair her phone
with it. The old screens looked different compared to the new SUV's
screen.
Does this new SUV have external authorization like the old one? The
older SUV was fine when pairing and connecting.

Wait, how did you get those results from
http://www.mercedes-benz.com/connect ? I picked "Passenger Cars" ->
GLK-Class Off-Roader -> Bluetooth(TM)-Connectivity

You are on the en-GB-site. I selected language/country to en-US.
