questions about the phone system in W220

are there any aftermarket possibilities for use with the factory equipment in the car? (the center console and so forth) $1500 for a phone from the dealerships is DARN expensive!

Unfortunately, MBUSA had embraced Motorola's proprietary solution and makes customers suffer for it, but this can be said for the whole US where customers have to deal with various incompatible celluar standards and simply old technology.
I guess it was just too difficult to embrace GSM, the deFacto word standard... (Sorry, I just had to complain, this is just so pre-historic; I just can get better coverage driving through a mountain in Switzerland than standing in Times Square)
