386 Pre-installation for mobile, universal to Bluetooth

Hello,

I did read a lot of threat but I still need some explications.

I will receive my 205 E400 cdi next week.

I got the "386 Pre-installation for mobile, universal" option.

What do I nned to get it to bluetooth?

Just plug a cradel or wire the car?

I mean, are ALL the wire ready and just have to plug a specific cradel in the center or open the car to plug specific wires?

Thanks for you response.

Your car would have the UHI kit. A small connector at the centre armrest storage bin. You can have a cradle for quite a few phone models where you put your phone to that cradle (have it charged & use the external antenna etc.).

BT options are a HF adapter of a BT SAP adapter. The HF model works with more phone brands but it does not make use of the car antenna (and obviously the phone is not charged).

The BT SAP option makes use of the car antenna (it actually is a full GSM dual band phone) and since the phone is only used to pass SIM card info to the adapter, your battery is not going flat while you talk. But BT SAP is not supported by many phone brands, so far, mainly (just about all) Nokia models.

There is also an after market option, ViseeO BT HF adapter.
