Phone and DVD Question for CL500
Hello all
I am the proud owner of a 2006 Cl500 and want to know what needs to be done to have an integrated phone system. The info says my car is pre-wired for the phone, but what does this mean, what has to be added, and can I do any of the installation or does it have to be done at the dealer.
I also have seen posts that convert their Comand systems to play, video, DVDs. Again, what has to be done?
Thanks Sam

With the phones changing as fast as they are, it is not worth the effort to do an integrated solution. Just get a BT phone of your liking then either go for the MB BT solution or any of the after market BT kits. I have a Sony/Erricsson HCB-30 BT kit in my SLK and it works fine.

The SE HCB-30 is an independent system from the car except for the Mute line. If you plug it into the car's MOST Mute Bus, it will turn off the sound system while a call is going on. Dialing is by using the phone. Less functionality than the MHI/UHI but no compatibility issues. Here is a link to the installation in my SLK.
