2007 Clk 63 Cabrio - Phone ?
Hi All,
I see that phone installs can be an indepth question...yet
Confirmed...my car is wired for a phone. The dealer says $2200 to set it up.
My question is...can I do it myself?
I have a Motorola Razor which is compatible (THEY say).
So I GUESS I need:
1) Blue Tooth Adabtor $408.
2) Razor Caradle $250.
3) Console install kit $179.
Is it true, I need another componet for the trunk?
Are part numbers availble from my co-members?
Anyone been there done that?
Can E-Bay or the like assist with parts discounts.
Can someone advise?

The installation is pretty straight forward for C / CLK models. I did the install myself with no trouble. It is more involved that what you have listed, however.
The bluetooth adapter and RAZR cradle are one in the same. The benefit of docking the phone is the utilization of the integrated rear bumper antenna and charging of the phone. The console kit is merely the connection in the armrest that receives the BT/Cradle module.
You will need the compensator, PSE... etc. that mounts in the trunk. There are also very thorough instructions available from MB. Then you'll need a DAS to program the fiber optic ring to 'tell' the car that the equipment is present.
I strongly suggest you visit www.mbenznl.com and contact Steve. Terrific people and source for your MB mods, they have helped me tremendously with my mods.

it is however a bit complicated and can be intimidating to someone who is not used to electronics. in particular there are a few instances on C/CLK where if you have a particular telaid configuration where you actually need to look at the telaid plug and make sure that a particular pin location is wired and if not add the wire. theres also some plugs you need to find and switch around. you will definately need to get the instructions.
