2008 E350 AWD Iridium Silver w/Black Interior
Question 2008 E350 Sport AWD - Bluetooth Question

Iridium Silver w/ Blk Interior, Prem 1 Package w/ the burl walnut trim. Love the car. After spending a couple hours reading these forums (great info) as well as the owners manual, I'm left with the impression that my cell phone can't be sych'ed to the car without purchasing a cradle? I'm stunned that a 55K car can't do something this basic. Please tell me I'm wrong.

You're NOT wrong (and wait 'til you see what that cradle costs!)

Unhappy

Thanks Cyclerider. I was afraid of that. I'm irritated I did not ask about this as I might have gotten it thrown in as part of the deal. It just never occurred to me that this would not be a standard feature. Live and learn.

Success

Picked up the adapter at the dealer (10% discount because I bought the car there - LOL). Took two minutes to install and pair my phone. Works great.

Spoke to the manager in the parts dept who claims all new models will come with Bluetooth connectivity included. Apparently the new C Class is the first.

He might be referring to the built in bluetooth to comand - can download phonebooks etc - not telephony - still need a puck - that's the way it is in the '08 S's

Could be this, or then he really meant new models like the W204 and the models coming after that.
