bluetooth phone setup

OK guys, don't shoot me =). I have searched long and hard and I'm still confused on the phone deal. I have a NAV replacement 03 E class... and from memory I remember the car being "prewired" for MB phone. Well, if I open the center console.. there is NO CRADLE.. but if I open the "bottom portion" of the console (with the climate controlled compartment) I see these two coiled wires going up to the top compartment.

Now, if I want to add the MB phone/bluetooth.. I will need what?
* the MHI
* completer kit?
* and V60 cradle with V60 bluetooth puck?

Or do I need less than the above? I would like an intergrated solution... and FYI I no longer have an active TeleAid in my car.. i've discontinued the service.

Any clarification would be appreciated....

Thanks
Peter

The install is fairly easy but you will need someone with access to the Star system to enable the components.

That should be easy.. I think the dealer owes me a favor anyways.... is there any splicing of wiring during the install? I checked it over real quick... didn't see any.

Thanks
