No More iPhone In Glove Compartment!

Hey guys,
If you've got the iphone interface, check this out!

http://www.kudausa.com/iphone_pass_t...hone-1455.html

If you got to the configurator and choose our cars, you can see it installed. What do you think?

I think I'm in love!

That **** looks stupid - sorry to rain on your party.

I'll stick to holding my phone in my hand and keeping $80 in my pocket.

LOL! Don't worry about it, I keep an umbrella.
Better to spend your $80 on this than to add another $70 to it for that ticket you're gonna get while driving in Chi/ NW Indy with your phone to your ear.

Yeah, charging was an issue at first so I bought the 2ft. extension cable and the Schoche adapter from cablejive. Problem solved and cheap.

For those of you with the newer version Ipods / IPhones. There is a cable that can be used with the 204 with integration that will enable charging. Part number should be B6 782 45 31.

Hopefully you don't have a case on your iPhone. If you do, it probably won't fit in the cradle. I don't understand why people still drive with their phones to their ears when your car comes with integrated bluetooth.
I have heard the quality and finish from that brand are incredible.

all cradles do is give thieves more reason to break into your MB. I'd rather conceal in my glovebox.

To each his own... cussing is pointless.

How about a pic of it installed?

Agree, don't see why this is better than keeping my phone on my waist. This may have been cool 10 years ago but don't see a need to have this or any phone out now when they integrate with the car so well via blue tooth.

Not sure for all countries, but in Canada bluetooth is standard regardless of what package you select. I believe it is the same in the US but worth double checking.

Handsfree is amazing!

Not trying to be mean but that big a$$ star on your grill is more than enough reason to get your car broken into m'man.

Here you go! The pic is an install in a W204.

For ME, (for an add on) it's neat, classy, understated, extremely functional and takes absolutely nothing away from the MB's interior. Plus, I can't screen calls if the phone's in the glove compartment. With over 250 contacts, too much of a PITA to do it all manually.
