What is that thing up there?
There is a small round black plastic thing on the celing of my 99 E430 between the rear view mirror and the windshield. It has parallel openings which are turned towards the driver's seat. What is it?

Do you have a picture of it? It almost sounds like it's the microphone for the car phone but between the mirror and the windshield??? The mic. is usually in front of the mirror on the ceiling...

Jim,
I have spent more time than I am willing to admit investigating the phone upgrade options for our cars (which are few and largely unsatisfying). I've decided to go with the Nokia set from Steve (MBenzNL) and not to retrofit to an older MB proprietary system.
Good luck!
