Using a regular V60s phone
I was considering getting the integrated phone option for my 2003 W211 and I was wondering if anyone who has the MB v60s phone has actually tried to use a regular v60s phone in the phone cradle.
I also have an '04 BMW X5 with integrated phone. However, I am using my regular Verizon V60s in it and it works perfectly, all the integrated functions as per the manual. Steering controls, dash display of phonebook, etc.
BMW claims it will not work and I have to buy the $600 BMW version of the V60s !! I met someone who has the same car and is using a regular V60i, also working perfectly.
One caveat, I have not tried the voice recognition part of the system as I do not have that installed on my BMW.
I read somewhere that the MB and BMW versions of the V60s are the same so this makes it all the more intriguing.
