E55Soon

I did it. With a little help from Paul ****, I retro fitted my 2003 E55 to a new Mercedes Benz V710 from the old V60 using the cradle (known as the "hang up cup") from Motorola ($40-$50 depending where you buy it). I modified the hang up cup to accomodate the cable and guts (PC board and male interface tab) from my old V60 cradle. THAT WAS ALL I NEEDED. While I admit, it's not an MHI or UHI system, big deal! The Mercedes V710 is all the phone that I'll need for the next 2 years that I have the E55. By then DC should have their act together and refine bluetooth connectivity. I got the V710 brand new on e-bay for $300. It syncs with my car, downloads the phone book, dialed, received calls, keypad dialing and even my voice recognition module works too! I could not believe it. Saved a bundle over trying to retro fit an MHI kit.
I'll post pics soon if you guys want... just let me know.

Ironically, "DC" already has their bluetooth act together -- it works well and comes standard in the Magnum RT...
