MBenzNL is where I got mine from.

Someone posted above that they ordered a Euro one from a dealer in the UK.

I got mine from http://www.comandonline.co.uk/ shipped to Dubai and it was cheaper and quicker than getting it from my dealer. Installed into my 2010 G55 (which has a slightly different COMAND system than your '08) and it is working almost perfectly with my iPhone 3GS. The only hitch is that for some reason I cannot synchronize my contacts via the cradle. I have to first pair the phone via the built-in Bluetooth in my COMAND 2.5 NTG and import the contacts, and then unpair it from the COMAND and pair it with the cradle.

Silly question...for the not so computer literate. Can you connect with just some type of bluetooth adapter or do you have to have the cradle? My phone is HTC ?

Welcome to the forum, bunnyrner,

You don't need the cradle at all. The cradle charges the iPhone. Depending on the model year of your S550, and assuming you're in the U.S., you may need an MHI Bluetooth puck (part B6 787 5878 or B6 787 6131); or, your COMAND may already have full Bluetooth integration without a puck.

iPhone cradle not compatible with 3G

See http://www.wireless4mb.com/page17/page17.html the Mercedes site "is not compatible with 3G". I called to be sure. Apparently, there are European versions for 3G, but not US. They didn't know of any plans to make a 3G model. The model is A2048203151. I got the same answer from an aftermarket company

So I bought a bluetooth module.

My 3G version was purchased through Europe and it worked fine with my iPhone 3G. No issues at all.

Those people are total bozos. The 3G cradle has been available for quite some time and a 4g cradle is coming soon.

You just have to buy it from Europe. Works exactly the same, no problems--I have two. Both connect to iPod adapter, too.
