C-Class Integrated Phone
Last year (May) i bought a 99 c230k...with integrated phone. Is there any way i could self-program the phone... or maybe a GSM (german car, german phone network maybe?) slot that i could somehow get the phone to work?
I was just wondering since i am trying to buy a new phone, and thought maybe i could get one to match.
* I do not want to get any of the V60 kits or so, i would just like to program the benz to my phone... not the other way around.

I'm no expert on this, but I'm pretty sure there are no GSM phones for MB's. I think they are TDMA or CDMA made by Motorola, and all have special software in them. You just can't buy a phone and connect it to the car.
In Europe there is a phone kit which will work with some Nokia GSM phones. This kit is not sold here. Contact our Euro parts connection, Steve, at s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com He is in the US right now installing Euro COMAND's. It might take a while for him to answer. Also see this article

Lynn,
I think that link may have provided me with the exact way to phrase this.
I want to use MB's proprietary phone...... it's just that i need to find out how to program it!
Any ideas?

The keypad on your stereo is just an INTERFACE to the phone. You can put any Mercedes phone in your car and it will work through the stereo.
The phone a 1999 C230K car originally came with is a MOTOROLA ANALOG phone. Because it is analog, and phone service providers want everyone on digital, you will have a tough time having your phone activated ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. (Not impossible, but just very difficult.)
Therefore, if you want an integrated phone, you will probably NEED to buy a new phone.
