MB OEM Bluetooth and Voice Control

For those of you that have W211 E Series, I found an OEM parts supplier who provides the complete OEM MB Blutooth kit, puck, MOST cable, ect and the optional voice control for under $1400 out the door, brand new MB arts.

Install should take about 60min and fully integrates with COMAND and Steering Wheel controls. I went ahead and bought the MS StarTech Service Bulliten for added assitance and can email it to you if you want, just let me know....its 6MB via pdf.

I am driving a 2006 W211. Will follow-up next week or so after I complete the install and report back.

MB 211 Owners/Operators: The complete install took 30min. Voice Control and Bluetooth work perfect and integrate with COMAND unit. Needed to get software update so instrument cluster displays reflects phone book. MB Dealer did it for free as I needed an oil change.

Love your EURO COMAND unit! Wish I had that! The package deal I bought was $1386 total. AS i recall the MHI unit runs about 500, VCS 400, MOST Cable 40, BlueTooth Puck and cradle 400. Hope this helps.

The VCS is very cool, but it does NOT control the Navigation or SAT Radio, something Benz can learn from Lexus

I don't know if you are comparing MB and Lexus from the same time but current MB models do control navigation with voice commands.
