Question 05' E320 V60s cradle

I just picked up a 05 E320 wagon. The car has the VR system and comes with a V60s. Apparently the V60s is different enough from the V60 c and i that it requires a different cradle. I verified this by trying to plug the V60s into my 02 cl600 cradle which holds a V60c. The dealer told me that the cradle for the V60s is in short supply and should be available in a couple of weeks - I do not believe them.

Does anybody know where I can get one? Or in the alternative can the system be retrofitted with a V60 c or i?

I'm not sure why you don’t believe them. I had an early 2004 with the first shipment of V60s' and they tried using a V60g cradle (out of not knowing the distinction I suppose. Not sure whether the dealer or the VPC put in the cradle). The V60s didn't fit well at all. A couple of weeks later they got the V60s cradle. Fits fine now. The cradle is stamped lightly "V60s" so you should know if it is the right one. I don’t doubt they are in short supply but I would think they are obtainable.
