Mobile Phone for C230K

Ok, I am confused. I have a few posts about the TimePort and StarTac phones for Mercedes. Which ones will work with the fibre optic system in the 2002 C230K? Has anybody found a cheaper option than going thru the dealer? I would sure like to get a phone installed and use the handfree options with my car.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Currently mercedes offers that Timeport and the v60, so both of those will work. If your gonna get one get the v phone, it looks a lot cooler that the timeport. Also, it's smaller.

Side Note: This is my 100th post!!! And look I'm a senior member. Wasn't expecting that.

dfwryan,

I asked the same question a few weeks ago and discovered that the only phones that work with the MB integrated systems are in fact only sold through MB. To bad, because its priced too high for something that will be old technology in 2 years.

actually somewhere, in some publication (maybe mobile electronics, not sure) i read that mercedes plans to use the same cabling with all new phones, from the v60 and newer.

ie, all you will need to change when you want a new mercedes phone is the docking port thing in your glovebox, and the phone itself..... this should make getting new phones MUCH cheaper

Cool little HRC icon Benzomonterey. My boyfriend says that every 230 he's seen in SF has been driven by a very cool/hip/mod/glam/euro Asian chick, and that I shouldn't have much trouble fitting into that mold when my black/oyster leather 6-speed (nice choice) arrives in a few weeks. ;-)

HRC/SF Meeting...

HRC is the acronym for Human Rights Campaign--the group espousing the idea that same sex couples are entitled to the same legal protections and civil rights as are afforded to opposite sex couples. Benzomonterey's avatar is the equal sign indicating the campaign's goal for equal rights (not "special rights" as they are offen referred to by the radical Right).

So, with the expository politics out of the way--where is the meeting on the 17th? Presidio? That's just across town. My car might even (God willing) ne here by then!

I have been reduced to canned meat. But the HRC lives inside.

Nice to see an open minded wide spectrum of individuals.
