Well I'm thinking about selling my car and am considering having Mercedes pull all of the integrated phone out of the car. Does anyone know what it's worth with the bluetooth puck on the open market?

Anywhere between $600 and $1200. Search the forum on how, and remove it yourself. It's easy. Unless your dealer is different from most of them, they will probably charge you over $300 just to remove the parts.

I got quoted $400 bucks to remove.

It will take you about an hour. Two if you go slowly. You have to remove one side of the trunk liner in the car (its held in with simple plastic pins). You will have to remove a few torx screws inside the center console to get to 2 wires that are unplugged in there. Then you have to pull back the passenger side carpet and swap around a couple of the fiber cables. There is a DIY for installing the phone kit w/ a PDF that has step by step photos (from MB, same the dealers use). You can uninstall the system just as easily based on those instructions. PM me if you do it and have questions. I installed the kit in my car this way. Uninstalling should be easier.

$400 to remove? Thats ridiculous. I can walk you through it if you need a hand, no problem. ACR2001 also has experience with this.

You should be able to sell the puck, cradle, and MHI altogether for $1000 roughly. Might take a bit to sell though.
