Connectors in armrest storage...

Just got a '99 c230 kompressor. Lots of questions...

In the area of the big compartment of the armrest that is closest to the rear of the car there is a little plastic cover which, when pushed forward, reveals a coax cable and what looks like a cat-5 (ethernet) jack. Does anyone know what these are for?

All you need now is a phone controller in the trunk and a cable in the armrest and you can have a car phone. You have the choice of the old Nokia version usually on eBay or the new UHI system from Steve.

Steve, Sunman, Scorchie, Wolfman all have recent postings about the UHI system.

thanks miroj. I'm looking for steve's posts now. do you have a URL for his stuff? I'm wondering what type of phones I can use with the system - hopefully some of the newer motorola clam style phones...

is this the UHI system you are referring to:
