Need M/B V60 Activation Instructions

Now that I have mostly completed the installation of M/B V60 Kit does anyone know how to get the car to recognize the phone sitting in the cradle?

I was just wondering how much was involved to install v60 into your MB. What parts did you have to get from dealer? Did you get the whole upgrade kit? What did it cost you?

Whole kit/phone with VR runs approx $1700 at wholesale MB outlets. Installation is simple and in most cases can be done my a moderate DIYer in 1-2 hours. The dealer still needs to version code the fiberloop however via the SDS laptop.

Don't forget the thousands of screws that come with the kit that are absolutely unnecessary.
Just a handful of screws are used.
I did the install without the instructions but with Adam's help.
The most difficult part of the project was the reconfiguration of the FiberOptic Loop.
I had to pay someone to have the fiber optic loop reconnected and to have the laptop reconfigure my system for the phone. Remember - the phone will not work unless the system is reconfigured with the M/B laptop.
