Thanks , Ive been looking all over there but cant really find an up to date post on my car and the V60 puck. Ive got a good head set but wanna use the car features.

I had an 04 W220 at one time and had the V60 puck. It connects voice and text via BT but no streaming music, etc.

I use a V60 puck in my 04 E500 but I have the newer star trek looking puck in my SL600. Both work just fine with every iteration of iPhone I've ever had. I'll know if it works with the iPhone6 on Friday.

Bluetooth streaming music?

No, that won't work. If you have an aux port, there's a cheap little unit you can buy, that I can link you to. If you don't have an aux port, you'll need to get an FM modulator. I use the iTrip in my SL... works fantastic actually.

Yep, that's what I thought. Phones are not problem for voice but nothing else.

For just a few bucks, I purchased a little unit that allows bluetooth streaming in my E500 all day long. You must have a little aux port though, that's the catch. In my E500, it's in the glovebox, so the unit just sits in there, and it's out of sight out of mind. Phone connects to it, and streams crystal clear.

Here's the unit...

I know the one you're talking about and it's a simple solution. I went further and replaced the head with a more modern one that cured my issues all round. That said, the aux input is a handy thing to have. I can't for the life of me figure why they took it out of later models...
