I am psyched! The price is a bit steep, but this is great. Does anyone know where the list of approved phones can be found? I have a Verizon Treo 650. I was really getting bored with my car and with the mods available...until this! WOOT!
What mic pics up the voice for the phone? The phone's mic? I don't have teleaid, so it can't be the teleaid mic...
Glad to see you doing this to an 02 coupe!

Bryan, i have been struggling with the install
I have Bose, Command by Steve MBenzNL, and also sport on my c320.
I had been wondering whether you could tell me how to hook the argos up to radio out or sth. It had been painful to install.
Once it work but it cant dial out to my O2 XDAIIi phone and there is no sound that came out

To address the price issue... remember, that this is a COMPLETE phone installation. You do not need any prior phone electronics to make it work and it is MUCH less expensive than a Mercedes setup. There are a lot of expensive processors in the Argos box, and our cost to manufacture actually went up last week, but we have held firm on the price.
We are the US support and sales arm for ARGOS. If you have any questions you can call us at 678-528-3443

I have a 2003 c230 coupe, and am trying to install the argos kit that i recieved today. Following exact instructions on this page + the argos installation, ofcourse it did not work, there are two things that are different, one there is no spot for fuse 40 in the driver side fuse box, and my fiber optic cables came connected like this: tel in was connected to sound out, And Sbs out + in were connected to each other. I figured that since tel in was connected to sound out there was no problem and went ahead with the install, and everything else worked until i got to the fuses and my car has no place for fuse 40.

I just received and installed the Argos Bluetooth kit in my C32 today. The device works great. I'm using it with my Samsung A900 with Sprint. It fully supports all the voice features of the phone, like 'call jim' or 'dial 555-1212'
I highly recommend the kit, it is worth the $$
Like the others said, the instructions it come with are pretty minimal, and I don't know if I would have ever found the cables without the pictures on this thread. The total install took about 30 minutes.

Update: You are not able to browse your phonebook with the A900. Also, you cant generate DTMF touchones. You can still push the buttons on the phone to generate them though

greetingz,
greetingz,
Thanks Steve!
To tromar1:
No problem, it's weird that Mercedes would change so much in the same car. But it's good we got both sides for the other people wondering where they should speak to.

I am not sure of what you mean by do they work on a 2003 car but a 2005 mirror will fit but the mic will not work correctly. The new mirror has 4 mics. Old mirror has 1 mic. You can wire the new mirror so only one mic will work.

Doesn't the mic plug is the same, or it have four plugs now for each mic?
Strange, everything like cables, etc.. being diferent
P.S: I don't have any mirror with mic, I want to install a UHI kit and I need a mic, thats why I'm asking
