Okay, sounds good. Thx again!

The web page has been updated, now says Q3 for the new adapters, but seems that the S-E 610/630 one is available now:

Translated Telematik site

Ah, true. But I wonder if the software interface would work, assuming one were OK with a cable+plug type installation and not a cradle.

Anyway, if there is a S-E 630 UHI available now, then that works for me.

scorchie

Also, the V600 is available now, but the site wasn't updated.

Hi Anil, there is a T610/616/630/637 cradle available now. We have it in stock... I got your e-mail today and will be giving you a call.

Gentlemen, If I was to purchase a Euro UHI kit and the cradle for the Motorola V600, Can I install this in my car (US Spec), and eliminate Teleaid????? I am hoping this is more or less plug and play with existing harnesses, and just simply unplugging the Teleaid from the system.

Thanks,
Randy

Not too sure about your e class. Scorchie can answer that better. I had to route the new harness along the right of the car to center console. I did not remove or unplug my teleaid. On yours, you may have to if you have to use the MODE connector in the rear. Also Scorcie, do you have v600 UHI cradles in now? I did not know they were out already!!!

For my aussie spec car, i am able to get a UHI cradle....

Where can i buy them from, i am interested in the v600 or the 7250

in australia we are only able to get the s55 and that phone is rubbish

vadim

What's wrong with the S55? It is quite manageable, has extremely good reception, is very light, its shell's rigidity is fantastic compared to, say, SE 68i... Did I miss something?

P.S. It is easily hackable, too

scorchie

Yeah, all the Siemens phones that MB supports are garbage, I agree. S55, come on.

Anyhow, you should be able to purchase the 6310i cradle, or the Sony T610/630 cradle. Also the V600 cradle was available; it may have been pulled because it doesn't work right with most V600s (the V600 software has to be updated just to get barely passable usage). What's weird is Motorola developed UHI, but can't make cradles for their own phones work right.

scorchie

p.s. I guess we did see that my source of 3rd quarter was correct.

Oh, and to use a cable+plug installation with UHI would require some serious hacking. The cradles are solid 1-piece, not cradle/cord like the older systems. That's why (well one reason) a bluetooth privacy handset is available for use with UHI.

I have a Moto V600 cradle in my 560SEL, well, if you're looking for one for to integrate with the Command, then it's not for you. The V600 carkit itself works fine with the V600. I tried my V600 in my friend's BMW with Bluetooth, it worked fine, too. Too bad MB doesn't offer BT.

Randy B

Where are you located (Country, state)????? Are you using a UHI system, are some other sort of MB factory system for the V600????

Thanks,
Randy

I am in IN, USA. Again my V600 carkit is installed in the 86 560SEL with Cingular services. The V600 has an auto answer and hangup on the carkit setting so making it a 100% handfree unless you want to call someone. Moto sells the carkit for $145 without the antenna, I got mine from eBay a while ago for $99. I already had the Cingular antenna on the car. And NO, it's NOT a MB factory system. Don't think MB offers the V600, so far I think only Aston Martin offers that in their DB9 and a few others.

Randy B

I too have the Moto kit for V600 installed in my Expedition. I am looking for some way to install an MB kit in my W211 for dash and radio functionality.

I second to that... haven't had any issues with my S55 at all and it integrates with the Comand with no issues at all, beats having a chunky Nokia 6XXX and at least it is smaller and has a colour screen.

Thanks to Silver_Lana for letting us know that the 2005 SL site is up on MBUSA. It looks like in the build to order section for the 2005 SL on the mbusa site that there will be a UHI!! Here is the text:

* Hands-Free Communication System with voice control (compatible portable phones sold separately)

Am I reading too much into this or are they saying it will be compatible with multiple handsets?

Jeff

Clicking on the "details" link next to that item leads to a page describing a "selection of Motorola phones for different carriers", and further on to an a/v presentation of the innovative, state-of-the-art (of the previous millennium, anyway) Motorola v60. So I infer that the "multiple handsets" would just be v60 versions for different carriers. And you can have any color you want as long as it's silver

So it seems to me that MBUSA still refuses to see the light. I always point out how far behind they are on phone and nav systems on every survey they send me.

Scorchie,
Let's fast forward to 2011. My 2005 E320 CDI (MY 9/2004) has the low cost tele aid system. When I slide the arm rest next to the tele aid system, two cords popped up, a square on and round orange coaxial, what's the best route should I take for bluetooth connectivity?

Famercedes,

I'm not one to raise objections to resurrecting an old post if it is still relevant, but this one isn't.

Assuming you're in the U.S. or Canada, you should download the pdf file at http://www.mbca.org/forum/how-guide-...tooth-and-plug and give it a read. The phone bulletins, for which there is a link, should provide help on what you have and what you may need. As an '05, your car has an MHI phone system (if U.S. or Canadian specification; it would help to know where you live).

The pdf file is the most recently edited version of the How-To Guide for Handsfree, and gets rid of the many side tracks in the one on MBWorld. However, if you want to review that one, it is at https://mbworld.org/forums/audio-ele...ml#post2788377

My bet is that since you seem to lack the MHI (or UHI, if in Europe) Contact Plate, you do not have the OE handsfree phone option installed. But that's just a guess.

Famercedes

My car is a US model MY 9/2004. The data sheet says that it is equipped with low cost tele aid. Some of my confusion lies in that in some post they mentioned 2005 models which my car is, and in some other instances they say MY 2004.
