Help with V60 cradle pleaaaase!

Finally decided to get my cradle, but when I went to install it, the connector on the center console is not the same as the connector on the tail of the v60 holder, the connector on the tail is a regular phone type (actually a RJ45 like) and the one on the console is made for a harness. Did anyone run into this, or am I missing something?

hey there,

let me guess you got it from ebay? You as you may guess you bought the wrong cradle. I think the one you have is for the SLK or CLK. hopefully you can return it.


I notice you have a BT in the pic if you are trying to get Bluetooth just buy the BT with tail. I had to change my cradle a few months ago and I had a hard time finding the right one. I have to go to the dealer to find out what
cradle i needed, however they was little help. however when I did a search on here, someone post at Mercedes teleaide /phone install guide for my year and model. That PDF showed the correct part number for the cradle I need.
