Linguatronics and the W211
Does anyone know if I can add the linguatronics module to my 2005 W211 w/o the over priced phone?
I am told yes, but I want to verify before I buy it.. my dealer said he's not sure.

In Australia the UK VCS works with all of the head units. However it doesnt work until it is properly coded.

US Spec COMAND that is standard on all 2005's. I know they install it with the phone, so my question is .. can I do it w/o the phone?

Do you know if it can be added to a 2006 CLK 350 US without COMAND? I've been to the dealer and they say its not available. Steve said he hasn't been able to figure out how to do it on this vehicle, even though the cars pre-wired. He could only get it to work on a Euro COMAND. Why would MB not make it available for a CLK?

BTW.. to make things interesting, here is the email reply I got from a local MB dealer about adding this w/o the phone..
Mr Samaha,
Here is the reply I received in regards to your request. The only hands
free function offered here in the US is for use with the phone, it does
not offer voice control of the radio functions.

It doesn't seem like this technology is planned to be offered in the US
yet. Also, MBUSA cannot prematurely offer future inofmrtaion that may or
may not come to fruition.
