Argo Stage-2 is out. A few questions

I just received a news letter from Argo, and it said that Stage-2 for Bluetooth connection is out. However, Its for cars with Navi only. But for Stage-1, it says its for non-premium sound and non-navi, does that mean that for us who have the Harmon Kardon speakers and no Navigation cannot use either products?

Same Basic Question here. I do not have Command. Have never had phone system before. Are our cars M.O.S.T or D2B. I am guess MOST. Fiber, but not premium sound system?

Mercedes Benz Price (USD)
AIK/D2B - Argos Bluetooth Kit for D2B Mercedes (also see D2B cable below)

Non-US customers (+Alaska & Hawaii), see international shipping below. You must select international shipping if you are outside the lower 48 United States, or you will delay your order while we send a seperate shipping invoice to you.
$799 Model and Year of Car?
Did This Car Have A Phone Before?


Stage-1 AIK/MOST - Argos Bluetooth Kit for M.O.S.T. Mercedes

Non-US customers (+Alaska & Hawaii), see international shipping below. You must select international shipping if you are outside the lower 48 United States, or you will delay your order while we send a seperate shipping invoice to you.

So i sent them an e-mail last night, and they replied this:

"You would need a Stage2 when it is avaiable for non-NAV cars"

Then i asked again does that mean there will be 3 versions for 05+ C-class, he answered

"The Stage-2 kit will eventually support Premium audio."

So.. does that mean i have to wait more until they come out with a newer version of Stage-2 which supports non-navi with premium audio..?
His answers are very confusing for me.. (maybe because english is my second language?)

I still think its best to call him cause as confusing as he sounds to you...you might sound that way to him also and maybe the answer you seek wasn't addressed appropiattely

They just updated their website. Now it says in the description for Stage-2 :

In the near future we will also support cars without COMAND, but have the Premium Audio Package.
Hope thats gonna help the people who have the same question.
