just got my 1st mb ever an 08 e-350, but didnt get bluetooth with it...after almost getting into an accident dialing a number on my cell phone(ironic since the car is so saftey "minded") i decided i needed bluetooth...went on ebay and ordered a mb oem bluetooth interface module(from some mb dealer in roanoke, VA.) for 285 bucks...slipped it into the cradle in the center counsel...entered the code on my tmobile wing and i was connected in 30 seconds or less...no screwdrivers, nuts or bolts - it was so easy!! i was stunned, especiallyl after reading of all this difficulty in these forums...maybe its the older benz'z that dont have the hookup for the interface module...i dont know...anyway love it so far...now to ipod interface....

Yep, your car already had the phone kit installed and all you needed was the bluetooth puck. The people that didn't have the phone kit from the factory had to retrofit it themselves, like me.

OK, picked up my new ML550 on Saturday (woohoo!) but the dealer did not give me the Bluetooth book... What's the security code for pairing my phone?

Thx, Tom B.

My BT SAP puck would ask for a 16 digit code but my guess for the US puck would be 62872, equals MBUSA.

I think this is correct. I got my Razr wet and had to get a new phone.
Of course the NEW phone had to be re-set with the car’s bluetooth. The
Verizon installer called MB asking about the code and I overheard him
quoting “MBUSA.”

Just puchased a used 2005 CLK500 how can you tell if you have hands free installed? before i dive into BT versus cradle i want to know if i have wants needed to intergrate either of the two.

thanks..i need guidance this is my first MB

It's on the under side of the puck

I assume it is above too, I mean a few posts earlier in this very same thread, post 54 I believe.

I got a question on that one: What if I'm using the Bluetooth-Cradle and have my phone docked? As far as I know, the phone would still be operated by Bluetooth and would use the external antenna as well...

This is correct. Your phone is also charging while docked in the cradle. Remember, the original poster is talking about leaving the phone in your pocket. The only way to use the car antenna in the USA cars is to dock the phone in a cradle.

Thanks cyclerider!

I was just a bit confused by your statement 'Bluetooth never uses the car antenna'. So it's actually 'Bluetooth never uses the car antenna unless it's docked to the cradle the same time because the phone needs a physical connection to the exterior antenna..' (just kiddin'..)

Now I only have to figure out if my RAZR V3 from T-Mobile will be working because it seems to have a different (I guess newer) software version (0E.43.04R) than the one approved on the wireless4mb.com website....

This thread has been a breath of fresh air. I really appreciate all the info from you guys and how easily you get along with one another! It's nice to learn rather than argue abut fractions of a second all the time...

What phones are supported by COMAND bluetooth?

I have:

-Nokia E90
-Nokia 8800
-LG Prada
-Dopod S300
-O2 Atom

is there any of those devices above can work on my COMAND Bluetooth or do I have to add a module for it to work?
