Cost for phone hookup in car without factory option ?

Anyone know how much the dealer should charge to install the basic hardware for phone integration ? I do not want the MB phone itself or cradle for same, just the connector added into the console to attach the new MB Bluetooth adapter, and whatever other supporting hardware may be necessary. My car did not come with the phone/VCS option but form what I've read the pre-wiring is in place.

I'd also be interested in adding voice control, anyone know what this will run to retrofit ? I think it is just the electronics module and the steering wheel control that need to be added.


Thanks.

YOu should contact steve. He has all those OEM mods. I think its about 600 dollars for the hardware for the phone and bluetooth puck. If you have SOS in your car, from what i am told, all you need is a cradle and bluetooth puck. Contact steve for those types of questions and pricing... do a search for his name. MBenzNL.

Its relevant to what i'm looking for and new stuff is always coming up, why is it such a big deal to you? I always was taught in forums if something doesnt concern you, you just read onto the next one.
