I know this subject has been beat to death. And I have read the previous posts. I want to get the Motorola Timeport V60 phone and car kit for my car. Does anybody know where I can get a decent price?
I’ve been looking for a couple of months. I don’t see much available.
I am willing to buy it form a dealer and have them install it. I just want a better deal than retail.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Tim

It looks like the world is out of the Motorola Timeport V60 phones, for Mercedes. I called several dealers and they all said they are out of stock and will not get any more!
Auto Class does not carry them any more.

Anybody know where I can get a complete kit?
Thanks,
Tim

No one is going to carry a Timeport V60 phone. The Timeport and the V60 are two different phones. If you want a Timeport phone, you can do a search on ebay. When I was considering installing the Timeport in my Mercedes, I saw Timeports there all the time. Autoclass.net advertises them, and I know that Mercedes has refurbished ones, but you would have to be replacing a phone under warranty to get one (I think).

One other thing you could try is call dealers. They upgrade owners from the Timeport to the V60 occasionally, and you may be able to purchase a used one.

Here are some ebay possibilities:

Thanks for your input.
I started on E-bay and then started talking to dealers. Autoclass no longer sells them. I did find one dealer who has a few left but the price $2600.00 fully integrated in not justifiable.
I’ll keep looking.
Thanks again,
Tim

Hey Tim,

If the V60 doesn't pan out for you, you might want to talk to Koolvin and Steve (MBenzNL) about a solution for your car. They should be able to rig up something for just about any phone.

If Steve can put command into a 1999 C43, he can most certainly come up with a "factory look" phone setup for your car with a minimal loss of functionallity.

I am leaning in that direction!
Thanks,

I installed the Nokia 6310i in my 2002 C240. That may be an option for you. The cost around $800 (including phone) using a German PSE and phone cradle. The system integrates with the steering wheel controls, the stereo system, and all.

Heads up. While looking for parts for my Timeport to V60 conversion, I came across a bunch of Timeports and V60s on Ebay. Since there's a few phones on auction and people have spent their cash at Christmas, this might be a good time to get a deal. Good luck. Do the search on Ebay and not Ebay Motors. You will get more hits with just the Ebay search.
