Command and Sony Erricsson T610
can anyone tell me how to activate my Sony Erricsson T610 phone so that i can use it via the Command and steering wheel buttons in my 05 SLK?
I've got the cradle and prewiring fitted, but when i place the phone in the cradle the rest of the car still says "Insert Telephone".
Do i activate something on the phone, or activate something on the car, or activate something on the bluetooth?
or what?

solution for dumb-*** issue...
ok - the solution was mind numbingly easy.
i picked up the car from the dealers at night and couldn't get the phone to work.
weather in feb in london is abysmal. (strong argument to move to florida...) so i couldn't really see what i was doing.
on closer inspection of the phone (bought second hand from ebay!) the pins of the adapter on the foot of the phone were filled by a fine reddish sand. (i guess the previous owner was in the building trade or similar),
i cleaned them out with a pin. when i fitted the phone again it worked properly.... nothing to set up at all, and loads of fun new buttons on the command system to play with whilst driving around!!!
ps - the phone has a dodgy aerial, meaning that when hand held the signal strength varyies like crazy, but snug in the cradle it works fine with 5 bars of signal at most times (so the MB aerial sorts out the dodgy sonyerricsson one!)
the only downside is that i rushed into the local phoneshop and got another bloody T610, which i guess will shortly be listed on ebay.
