2006 CLS 55
Cell phone question

I picked up my CLS55 today and, among my due bill items, is the cell phone to go along with the VCS system.

Does anyone know what model(s) of Motorola cell phones Mercedes Benz USA has available for installation in the 2006 CLS55? My salesperson was not quite sure and told me that only a TDMA phone (V70?) could be purchased.

I find that both hard and distressing to believe.

i think one of the phones available is a v710 from motorola. its a relly nice phone( i have it and would recomend it) but yea i think that you can like only use tdma, which means that i think youll have to buy it straight from the dealership. the models avail i think are the v710 and v60 as of right now.


hope this helps

Nothing MB related (sorry)
Check out this link with phone kit info:

http://www.mbenznl.com/products/phones/

You can get a couple of MB Motorola phones installed in your CLS (not at the same time ); you could also consider getting the UHI phone kit that is compatible with various GSM phones.

greetingz,

I have both the V60 kit and the V600 kit.

I used the V60 for Verizon for a week and switched carriers becasue of coverage reasons in my area. Therefore I bought a V600 for Cingular. They both work the same through the in-car control system.

Incidentally I have the V60 for sale for $499 with the kit, cables, brackets, etc.

I looked at the website and did not see anything for the CLS. Did I miss it?

It says at the website that the 2006 CLS can get UHI / MHI installed as well. We can offer kits for the W219... no problem.

The CLS factory system is exclusively the UHI/MHI.

Multiple Handset Interface...

Typically, I install V600's in these cars. The V60i is just too outdated...

VCS is no big deal, just an extra control module, a different configuration of the microphone array, and install of the tilt lever plus additional version coding in the audio gateway.

What about the Razr? Will it fit? We also have a V710 and 510.

As far as I know, there is not a cradle kit for those phones. You can use different handsets, you just have to exchange the cradle to fit the different phone.

Oops one of them is a V551 not a 510 as the daughter just informed me that was her old phone. Thanks [MB]CRS
