BT puck and Mik Box

I currently have the Mik Box running in my car and I want to try the BT puck. Question is, can I just change the cradle back to the original and not take out the Mik box device connected in the trunk?

I have a W210, 2002 E430.

And has anyone tried the BT puck with the new blackberry?

Thanks

Your car has the "autosense" PSE needed for use with the V60 Bluetooth puck. if your car had a V60 cradle originally (and not a TimePort), you can certainly use the V60 Bluetooth setup after putting your original cradle back in place.

I do not know if you must remove the MikBox. You could give it a try, and if everything works, you're OK. If not, then remove the MikBox and restore the original connections - it isn't hard. Hope you still have the parts removed for the securing the fiber optics connector back together - but if not, just use some nylon wire ties.

Please let us know how it works out.

Try searching this forum and BenzWorld for reports on pairing the Blackberry. Using the model number will get you better results than "the new Blackberry."

I tried this and unfortunately I had to remove the Mikbox for the BT puck to power on. I tried every combination of button presses and power/off sequences with out without any luck.
