Guys, the last thing I told the dealer in TX to do for me before he stuffed the CLK into the car carrier was to confirm the bluetooth puck was in the center console.

Ya see, he sent me a pic of the original window sticker and it lists "Bluetooth hands free" as an option (~$700 ). But he told me that the puck was not there (but he was able to get me a Nav DVD and an extra key).

Sooooooooooo, I'm hoping because it is an '09 with "factory" bluetooth that it does not use/need the puck - that it is somehow built in...or am I skrewed and need to buy a puck?

If I have to buy one, does anyone have some sources?

TIA.

You need the puck, and we have the MB2 for almost half dealer price

Frank Rizzo

Great tip^

Count me in.

If you need the OEM Puck let me know I have one I am willing to let go at a really fair price. Plug and play and your set.

What does the VizeeO MB-2 do that the OEM doesn't?

I'd take a second key and a nav DVD for my puck all day long. Members sell pucks all the time ~$120 or so; I've seen them on eBay ~$149, guaranteed to work with iPhones (my Blackberries work fine with B67875878; newer model is B67876131....search away!)

Cartronics

A lot. The unit is software updatable. That is why you see so many factory units for sale used because they're quickly made obsolete

Mic volume, compatible with more phones not that I have found any the OEM puck will not work with. Voice recognition was the main thing for me. Plus has upgradeable firmware if needed. Also very good support if needed.

In that case Frank, I'd recommend you spend the $289 with Cartronics. I can't tell you how many times I've bought the cheaper item, only to suck it up later and step up. Here, the difference is marginal....treat yourself!

I'm with you Eddie, that's why I said "count me in".

I got the car today and was playing with the factory iPod connector. Am I wrong? It does not show any info on the nav screen? No playlists, podcasts or anything else? Jeez. Any Cartronics solutions for this?

Cartronics

Yes, we do have solutions for that too... all kinds of toys for your new toy... Just pick your year and class and you will see all that is available.

That's correct. The iPod displays in the center of your speedometer.

ooops. I did not even look there....
thanks.

Cartronics

Yeah, some users find that less than acceptable. So we offer systems that display Artist, Album Songs, Genre, etc in the COMAND and control from there too.

Go the Cartronics route, they make good products. I am completely satisfied with mine.
