Anyone have any experience with the installation of an aftermarket bluetooth handsfree cellphone kit on the w202? I don't want to get a Mercedes-sponsored low-feature phone that's compatible with the integrated phone system, but would like to get my new motorola razr v3 working in the car.

Here are some kits I'm looking at:

For some reason, I can't find a domestic retailer that sells these units. Any thoughts on why this might be the case?

 

If you have a W202, I don't think you can get any phone kit from Mercedes for your car. They probably don't sell them anymore. You will have to go aftermarket, either original Mercedes that is resold to fit a W202, or something else such as the Bluetooth kits you pointed out.

anyone ever try to integrate one of the motorola bluetooth kits listed above?

 

talk to mik at mikbox.com; search mikbox on this forum.

 

just heard from him via email. no bluetooth in the works for the forseeable future, and no kit for the motorola razr v3 due to its USB based connector.

the search continues...
