got the v60 bluetooth puck for my w211...
well, the puck allows me to see signal strength, download phonebooks, but no sms like my v60. The only problem I am having is that the car doesnt recognize when I end a call. It can answer calls fine, even call waiting- just doesnt recognize when I hang up the phone (I tried on the steering wheel and the phone itself).
I called aws, but they are clueless- they were very shocked that I already had the v60 puck. (I have a friend who works at motorola) anyone have any ideas why my car doesnt recognize when I end a call? I tried two bluetooth phones- motorola razr (verizon) and blackberry 8700 (cingular). my car is a 2003 w211 with v60s.

do either of you guys have the "official" mercedes puck, or is it a bmw puck or non-branded motorola puck? You guys are talking about the v60 puck right- it fits into the v60 craddle?

I am confused. Are you guys talking about the MHI Bluetooth interface or the BT adapater that is shaped like the V60 and plugs into the V60 cradle? I thought the latter is only coming out in a month or two...

UPDATE- v60 shaped bt adapter works with eurocommand!!
UPDATE- well I got the eurocommand installed in my car. It replaced the ap50 radio. The euro command works with the BT v60 adapter! The only thing is I cant get it to lookup the phonebook 
the ap50 radio allowed me to lookup the phonebook, but it doesnt recognize the hang up/end call which is even worse.
So to summarize- with the two bluetooth phones (razr and blackberry 8700) + v60 BT adapter + ap50 radio = phonebooks, callerID, place calls. The only BIG negative is that it can not recognize the end call.
razr/BB8700 + v60 BT adapter + eurocommand = place calls, callerID, end call. The only negative is that it can not lookup your phonebook.
I guess the most optimum solution would get steve to install the MHI + bluetooth module..... but I dont feel that the extra cost of a brand new system is worth it for now.
FWIW, you can indeed get the v60 BT adapter from mercedes wireless- you just have to put your foot down

The question was already raised in another thread, but I wanted to pick up on it; given that the Mercedes V60 puck is not available right now and the BMW V60 puck is, has anyone tried that one?
I was made to understand that a BMW V60 works in a Mercedes Hands-free system so the puck should really work as well, or so I hope...
Can anyone confirm this? I also like to know specifically for the US comand, not other units.
Thanks,
Wolfman

I just received an e-mail from AWS telling me that the Bluetooth Module for my v60 will be released within the next 30 days. I e-mailed them back asking for a clarification of compatibility.

I have installed the MHI and bluetooth module I got from AWS installed on my wife's 06' E350. It works great. Most of all, my wife loves it since she doesn't have to reach out for the phone while she is driving.
It recognize when the call ends for sure. I can see the status via command control as well as the information window in the speedometer.
