If so it's good that they've joined the rest of the real world. At the same time, I wish that my car had it.

11 W212 E350 Sport, sold 06 W211 E350
My sales rep. at MB Sacramento told me yesterday ( 09-02-05) that they now have bluetooth kits as a dealer add on for the W211 E class. They connect a cradle in the center console. They just got them in, so he was not sure of the pricing. I will be contacting the service department for more info.

Just picked up a E350 4matic and paid to have the Motorola Bluetooth adapter installed. Was told by the dealer that customers are very happy with it. Time will tell.

Ha .... the BMW system doesnt even find the phone for several minutes. You could be making a 5 minute trip and the phone still wont lock into the head unit.

That means if you leave home and forget something that you could get a call and not be able to answer it through the car system.

I would rather be the last person to have it and have a working system rather than just say I have it and deal with so many trivial issues.

Mine always paired instantly in my BMW 545 / And the phone book from my phone also always appeared right away in my iDrive. Having said that…the quality sucked (echo etc..) and the voice-recognition (“ dial 123-123-1234” etc.) was challenging at best. Seemed to me like the technology wasn’t fully baked…and the next generation would have it nailed

So, this will allow my Bluetooth phone (non-Motorola) to work in the E class?

Also, can I have a part #?

..and Steve, can you install this in my car when you come here next? (So, can you get the parts?)

2006 E350
Hoehn in Carlsbad installed a German 3rd party kit from Peiker Acustics (they also make Lincoln and Chrysler OEM Bluetooth kits) in my 2006 E350. Voice controlled system, no COMAND integration. Works quite well. I use a Motorola E815 phone.
