Why are you saying there is only one person who can get the kit, when you can piece the kit yourself for under 500 bucks

Is this setup of yours going to have voice command too ??
How come you paid for the Q6820965 part 295 dollars but in the beginning of this post shannon said he paid 100 something. Have the prices gone up??

How long is the install, is it difficult? expensive ? I am going to be putting together my own kit very shortly

The core package Q6820965 is hard to find,e M matter fact I tried calling dealership and search extensively online and even asked the ebay seller to just sell me the MHI module since I dont care to have backward compatible phone or voice command. I wish I had purchased my CLS back when shannon was able to buy that part for $100. There is a seller on ebay (roscoe) if you type in Q6820965 they are selling it for $269 + tax in ca and shipping. I did a search extensively to find the other package Q6820954 but no luck they dont make that package no more it seems. From shannons post and I did research in order to have basic bluetooth all you need is the bluetooth puck, contact plate since our car has the connections in the arm rest and MHI module that connects to the fiber optics and power etc. In order to get the MHI module, I had no other choice than purchase the Q6820965. And the rest contact plate (parts.com) and puck on ebay.

So benz doesn't sell the contact plate that comes with the voice commander anymore? is this correct?
what do I have to do to get voice commander?


how about the wiring or what ever?

dremjay

Is this the MHI MODULE? where does the module attach in the trunk???

That is bluetooth puck that connects to the contact plate in armrest.
Contact plate from dealer never bother ordering from them because of high mark up price. Ordered mine from parts.com the contact plate attatches to the arm rest underside there are two cables and the puck connects to the contact plate. The MHI controller module is a silver box but of courtse there are extra components that come with this kit but not necessary like this pictured:

Thank you for that detail. So how do I also setup Voice command? is it possible since the Q6820954 is no longer available?

Also, where does the MHI connect

Was that ebay link the new pucks? because there are pucks for 100 bucks used, and this one is 300... whats the difference? :S

Im using the older B6787583 bluetooth puck it pairs up fine with my Iphone 4, I have one in my GL450 and I have one for my install for my CLS. Voice command you gonna have to buy the kit. And as the MHI, I know it goes in the trunk. I have to figure out if it is an easy install or I should have a shop do it. I installed the Ipod kit and took apart panels and ran wires all the way to the back and switched wires which was fun and easy. If you want the voice command and bluetooth your gonna have to probably buy the kits on ebay for $800 because I dont know the exact part number for voice and what is required.

WULplease

Can you play music via bluetooth?

Nope. I wish.

I installed the Contact Plate/Pigtail and Puck in the Center Glovebox. The MHI module in the Trunk and the MOST fiberoptic cable in the trunk (both go on left side). Don't need antenna switch or linear compensator if not using the microphone stem on the steering wheel for voice control. The last thing I can say is take the cover off of the microphone (near your right knee there's a little filter covering a hole, that is the built in mic.) That way callers can hear you. I suggest reaching out to Keith Valentine on E-Bay, he can hook you up with everything you need and clearly written instructions too.

Has anyone done this and can anyone confirm the exact items I need to get done what I want done?
Part numbers
-Bluetooth Puck (old or new version) that snaps in the contact plate in the armrest
-Contact Plate with 8" pigtail that installs in the armrest
MOST fiber optic cable that goes in the trunk
-MHI phone module that goes in the trunk?
