Hey Guys.. I have a 2005 C230k SS.. I have the basic indash cd player with the factory changer in the glove box.. I also have the phone buttons on the radio and when i hit the button in the middle it says "NO PHONE".

Soo.... What I am asking is, what do i need to get a phone to work with the car. What phone is it? Where should i get it?

I currently have nextel. I think the reception in my area is bad(doesnt work inside any buildings), the 2 way thing is getting played, and pay for roughly a 1000 minutes a month at almost 100 bucks a month. I could use a lower bill, im at work all day and its never on.

So i figure having the phone work with the car is a nice little option, and i'll probably get a lower bill, better service, and my nextel contract is over.

Any Ideas???

talk to your salesperson...he should know. You can't use Nextel though...only either Verizon, Cingular or AT&T, and it has to be a phone provided by MB. They're not cheap either. I'd wait a few weeks till the new phones come out (color) if you do want to spend the $.

The $765 telephone MOST interface, along with the $1,000 V720 telephone and the $200 cradle are all that is required to add the integrated telephone. These telephones are due to become available at the beginning of October.

Contact Steve re the UHI cell phone kit..That May be what you are looking for! mbenz.nl

CitronC230K_03

if you have an 01-04 W203 you can use the UHI kit from Steve. That what I'm getting for my nokia 6230b.

I recently traded my 2003 C240 4Matic for a (wonderfully pleasurable) 2005 C230K sedan. Prior to signing the contract my saleslady faxed me an official looking printout of my car's configuration and it stated that it came with the "standard cell prewiring" (option code 387 or something like that).

I kept my factory MB V60 motorola from my c240. My service guy only mentioned I need the cradle to get the phone installed in my new car. However, he did not mention the MOST interface. Any chance I won't need it since the car came in "prewired"?

Any thoughts, anyone?

All Late Mercedes are prewired for cell phones..

You WILL need the PSE and cradle..They are NOT Included unless the car was ordered with a cell phone...Or a Dealer installed option

wingless

The MY '05 C Class includes the cell phone prewiring. This includes the mike, UHI connector, antenna and associated wiring. However, the $765 MOST interface is required to connect to the audio system.

The compatible telephone list, available for review at the dealership, includes the new MB V710 and the prior MB V60 telephones. Each requires the specific cradle AND the MOST interface, if not equipped from the factory.

The V60 phones are currently available, the V710 at the beginning of October.

jmartinacevedo

Thanks for your thorough response. It's amazing that we, as customers, as the ones educating the dealer and its staff!!

Thanks again,
Martin-

P/S I'll post pictures of the install. Unlike the display in my C240, it would appear that the new display in the facelifted 05 c class center dashboards will show a little "envelope icon" lit up if there is a voice message waiting. As I said, in my C240 there was no such indicator. The only way to find out if you had a voice message was when, while driving, I felt the center armrest "vibrate," as I had a vibrate alert for voicemessages activated in my V60 Motorola.

CitronC230K_03

all the 203's are pre-wired, not just 2005.

Just some info for sprint users looking for bluetooth phone. There is actually a phone on sprint network with bluetooth. http://www.sprintpcsinfo.com/modules...rticle&sid=304

BTW a new phone is comming out on sprint with bluetooth, might be a rumor.Check out the forums lot of information there.

Also are there any updates on any bluetooth system for MB. I checked MIK box's webpage and he hasn't posted anything yet.

CitronC230K_03

i gave up on the bluetooth with Mik box. im getting steve's UHI unit. i changed phones from a motorola V600 to a nokia 6230b. i havent heard any updates on bluetooth for mercedes though.

wingless

The Motorola V710 has Bluetooth. It may be that the MB V710, that integrates with the MY '05 vehicles also has Bluetooth.

cracker123

Is it for sprint or verizon.

cracker123

Also steve's UHI does not exactly work for sprint right ? or that is what I got from reading some old posts.

CitronC230K_03

last i heard, and this was for the V60 MB phones, but you had to use Verizon or AT&T (not the GSM version). I dont know about the new V710 phone. i wasnt pleased with my V600 so im glad to get rid of it anyhow. i figure im getting a better phone, fully integrated in my car for cheaper than the MB option.

wingless

The V710 is for Verizon, there is a similar model for Sprint.

Rick

I already have the V60 in both my Benz'....but I want to upgrade my phone to a Moto razor v3 when they are available....anyone know if the rumored UHI kits will have a cradle for this phone?

CitronC230K_03

UHI (Universal Handy Interface) phone kits are being readied by MBenzNL. If you're not aware of what UHI is, please search in the forum, or wait a few days for MBenzNL.com to be updated.

Some test installs have been done, below are some pictures of a kit that was installed in a W208 CLK55.

The kits should be available with a few (selected) cradles, to support some of the phone available. ALL CRADLES MADE BY MERCEDES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FROM MBenzNL... this is to reduce the number of kits required and to lessen support requirements.

Supported cars will be:

W202 1999-2000
W208 1999-2003

W203 2001-2004
W209 2003-2004

W210 1999-2002

R230 2003-2004
W463 2002-2004

Kits will be "self install", meaning the kit includes the parts necessary for installation and you are responsible for installation. Installation will be available in some areas and may support more vehicles than in the list (for instance, W220).

The kit consists of:

- UHI PSE
- UHI clip
- UHI cradle (varies by phone)
- middle console floor (depends on model)
- cradle wire harness
- antenna adapter

The following phones will have kits available:

Nokia 6100/6610/7250
Nokia 6200/6220/6230
SonyEriccson T610/T616/T630/T637
Siemens S55/C55/M55/S56/C56/M56
Siemens CX55/CX66
Motorola V620/V600/V525/V300

That's all! Please do not ask for others. Also note that if you are a Cingular or AT&T customer, recommended phones are SE T616/T637, the Siemens phones ending with "6", and the Nokia 6200 and 6230b. Many of these are currently available at subsidized prices direct from the provider, so getting a phone at a good price should not be a problem
(which was an issue with the Nokia 6310i kits).

Also note that if you choose the Motorola Vxxx kit, you are on your own... there are a lot of problems reported with this kit/phone combo, so we will not provide ANY support for it. It is just available for those who just HAVE to have a V600.

If you have a pre-2002 car, it is recommended that you change your antenna to a multiband antenna. This can be done quite expensively using an aftermarket part, or an OEM part can be used to replace your original antenna (more expensive). This will greatly increase the quality of your reception. If you have a pre-2002 car and already have a phone kit installed, it is recommended that you ensure your compensator is multiband ready, or bypass it (with included adapter) or replace the antenna.

The kits should be delivered early September, no later than the end of September. Those who prepay will get a significant discount. Ordering information will be posted on MBenzNL.com and that will be the only way to prepay for discount! Please do not send mail asking about it until the site has been updated.

More info on the way!

Citron, I know you're getting or have the NOKIA 6230b that has MP3 and camera capability ? I'm looking for a similar price range phone, but don't really need the MP3 or built-in camera. From the list of UHI compatible phones up there, which do you recommend, that has really good RF reception, but without all the bling-blang gadgets ??
