Unlocked Mercedes branded Motorola V600 and MHI Cradle

I have an unlocked, GSM, Mercedes branded V600 Motorola phone. This was purchased new in early April for my car and I've used it for three months.

It's got the Mercedes logo on it and it is worldwide unlocked.

I've also got the matching MHI cradle for it. Also bought new in April.

Obviously, both work flawlessly with MHI. This is a wired cradle, so unlike the bluetooth "cradle", it will charge the phone and connect the phone to the car's antenna for excellent GSM reception.

Background is that I went this route because my previous Blackjack had poor reception inside the car and voice quality was bad, so I went with a second family line on this V600. If you have poor reception inside your car or live in an area where GSM reception is an issue, this would be a great solution. The vehicle antenna is considerably more powerful than the little antenna on your phone.

Remember, this is the Mercedes branded phone with the Star logo on the front. Together with cradle, this is a $745.00 plus tax and shipping combo from AWS.

I'm asking $400 or best offer. PM me if interested. I would be open to selling the cradle and keeping the phone as an extra unlocked GSM phone.

Thanks.

And pics of the phone and cradle themselves

As you can see, in virtually new condition. Not a single scratch. Phone has never been dropped (or for that matter out of the car really except for once or twice)

Sorry I took these in a rush, if anyone would like better pictures, please ask.

Thanks.

are there certain MB classes or model years that this phone & MHI cradle are NOT compatible with ?

Yep, good question. Their site says it's for 2005 models and newer. It doesn't seem to exclude any particular model and going through all the different 2006 models on their site right now, it seems to work in all series.

Of course, you have to had the MHI system, which I guess isn't standard in all models. But I believe it is available in all models.
