98 CLK 320
CLK Phone Install
My 98 320 has a female coax antenna cable and wide-ethernet-cable-looking female plug thing under a cap in the lower console compartment. I was wondering if anyone knows if these are already hooked into an antenna and power, etc, or if they're just dead-ended and there in case someone wants the option.
I found that with the CD Changer, all I had to do was buy the changer and it was pretty much plug and play. I had hoped that it was the same for the phone stuff.

The wiring is there; the hardware probably isn't. You would need to install the PSE, antenna booster, antenna splitter, and cradle to make the OEM phone setup work. Not to mention the handset itself, which must be Mercedes branded to work with the system, or you could add a MikBox to the OEM setup in order to use generic phones. UHI is another option as well. Search the "Audio and Electronics" forum for more on these topics.
