The phone integration was pretty cumbersome in those days. Originally, you needed a special flip phone that was an option. It fit into a cradle in the console. Then they came out with a BlueTooth adapter that fit into the cradle.
So if your car came equipped with the Mercedes/Motorola flip, you will have the cradle in the center console and only need to get the adapter, which can be found used online. If you don't have the cradle (more likely, unfortunately, as the car-phone option was expensive), you would need to have the phone wiring installed, which is possible but expensive.
