Iphone hook up to 2007 SL550

I am new to this forum so please bear with me. I am a proud owner of a 2007 SL550. Love it. The subject is getting my iphone to work with the telephone command center. Can I do it?


The manual for telephone operation has really no pictures to help illustrate how a phone is "plugged in


If the car was to come equipped with cables for hook u I do not have them.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check your console for this Bluetooth dongle or at least the place to connect it.

Thank you. Yes I was aware of the place to connect it but it is the device (dongle) that I am missing so now that you were king enough to send me a photo I now completely understand. Dealership wants about $500 plus programming. Ouch


I do plan on shopping around

Check out Ebay. I bought one for my wife's ML. Just plugged it in and paired to her iPhone. It automatically loaded her address book. Works great.

Yes I was just looking yet all the ads. However, they do NOT make any mention of compatibility to iphone 6. Was yours an iphone 6?


Thank you so much for your help

She has an iPhone 5, but I would think Bluetooth is Bluetooth. That hasn't changed.

Are you looking for the USB cord?

or any cell phone store. This way you can hook it up with iTunes or play .mpgs. Any iphone atore has it also but this is how we have ours hooked up though we bought it at radioshack.
