handsfree kit
Really depends on which route you want to go. If you want a factory system, be prepared to spend a lot of money, and have an inferior cell phone compared to modern ones. If you do not mind a couple of extra things in the interior compartment area, you have a few choices. Basically the question is what type of phone do you have now, and is there a hands free kit available for it now. I have a 99 E430 with a factory cell phone, that I chunked. I installed a Nokia 6100 series hands free kit, and utilized the factory hands free mic, and stereo speakers that the factory phone used. Took some time to do the pinouts on the mercedes harnesses, and the nokia system, but it works flawlessly, and only has the Nokia cradle in the interior compartment. Good luck on your decision.
thanks i would expect it to cost alot anyways.e hehehe

Sorry, getting in a little late on this (just registered on the forums a day or two ago).
I had a Samsung SCH-3500 phone and ordered the Samsung OEM hands-free kit. Here's a pic of it:
The first thing you'll notice is that I'm not driving an E-class (it's a Passat) -- the E430 is my mom's.
However, I got a new phone, and this cradle will be going into my mom's E430 (she also has the SCH-3500 phone). I probably will have it installed right next to the radio, just under the glove box -- and low enough and far out enough that the glove box can still open.
HTH...

Re: handsfree kit
Randy B,
I think you just settled my recent quest. I have been searching for a solution for my own 99 E430 and Nokia 6100 series phone. I have the MB OEM Analog Motorola (MB swears this is the most advanced the radio can handle) and want to use digital service. Any chance you could share the pin-outs? I see 2 leads from the MB harness and assume one is power and the other is sound/mic. Is it as simple as getting the nokia adaptor (plug that snaps on bottom of phone) and splicing a few wires ot the MB harness? I was tempted to try some combinations but wasn't sure it would work since MB told me there was a computer chip that interfaced the phone and radio.
THANKS!

Go to audiworld.com.
I installed the Nokia kit on my car and used the information for the Audi system which is nearly identical.
You can figure out the pins from the dealer, alldatadiy or buy a premade kit from one of the sources recommended on audiworld - don't remember what it was. The harness is by the Bose amp in the trunk. You should install the box under your rear seat and the cradle in your armrest. An extension wire from radio shack can extend the cable from your trunk to under your rear seat.
Also check Mercedesshop (apb as author) when I might have asked a few questions about this. Good luck!
