Please read the sticky once more. The "firmware update" must mean version coding for the instrument cluster to set phone present. I assume you do not have any phone kit then and perhaps not even any phone pre-wiring. In this case I'm afraid that you need a lot of new HW. If I remember right, the "puck with tail" option was for 2004/2005 cars or something like that.

The E-class BT option would be quite different from the W204 approach where the HU supports BT HF.
