i own a 700 dollar phone and the fact the benz wants me to purchase one of their piece of **** phones to work with bluetooth is retarded. They are taking a step backwards here.

Called my dealership yesterday to inquire about the kit. It isn't in the computer yet (was supposed to be released in Jan '06) and he says it could be any day now. If you all hear any different, post here for the heads up.

SOmething wrong when you have to install a wired kit so that you can operate your fone wirelessly.
Lessee
Here's your $700 Mr. Steeler for your MHI kit. What? I can't use my soooper doooper batfone? OK - here's another $500 for your fone. Now let me pay for a bluetooth adaptor so I can control my overpriced Mercedes Benz fone from my steering wheel JUST LIKE THE WIRED SYSTEM

i spoke with the people at Keyes European in Van Nuys, CA and they referred me to the AWS people who run wireless4mb.com. They said the kit is $479 and will only work with the specified phones on the site. I have a BlackBerry and they said that it WILL NOT WORK. Same with the RAZR (all services). I have used the Motorola IHF1000 ($250) and HF850 ($150) and they are absolutely amazing. You can have it hardwired through the factory speakers or use the included one. There is no echo and the module fits nicely in the ashtray/center console. Mercedes needs to get their act together with regards to phone technology.

UK best uhi phone retrofit installation harness part number?
I have a w203 2002 UK model C-class. I was looking to find the most appropriate wiring (best one for upgrades) harness. I have found on EPC three part numbers:
A 203 440 22 10
A 203 440 48 05
A 203 540 36 34
what are the differences between them? Do they use different uhi controllers and if yes, which controller corresponds to each wiring harness? which one is the best? please let me know!
