Inside the armrest 2001 CLK 320
Well hullo, there's a foam bottom of the inside of the armrest which when removed reveals teh secretness!!!
And here we see a smaller plug and an antenna connector?
And also another plug (which curiously also lights up at night!)
Soooo I've looked, really I have, and I come to you my fellow Benzoids.. Can anyone tell me what these are for? First guess is a cell phone connector.. but which type? And the second plug... what's that for?
I'm really kinda curious about this and would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,

/me looks shifty
Uhhh ...nuffin!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Actually I stumbled across it while removing stuff.. the cover piece ...moved. So I tugged on it and voila!
On reading more via googling it to death it *appears* that while this is probably the connector for the Timeport, It is possible to use a v60 kit instead. not really sure though and would appreciate it if anyone knew for sure.

The two phone connectors are for the phone handset, whether it be a Timeport or a V60. Either will work. The lighted plug is a courtesy light. Did you pull it out or was it laying like that? It should be clipped into the wall of the compartment.

Oh good lord a courtesy light?
LOL. Talk about over engineering.
Seriously though, thanks for the info.
Does anyone know if a dealership will install a Mercedes V60 phone kit bought off of ebay or someplace? Or are they going to insist on buying the bits an pieces through them?
Or is this going to be a dealership by dealership thing?

I doubt they will for laibility reasons f something is wrong with it. I'd try a car stereo shop that does hands free phone installs. Then again, it never hurts to ask MB. All they can say is no.
