2023 E450 ALL-TERRAIN WAGON
We have a 2004 E320 wagon and never had a phone installed - when we got the car we had a Treo & it was not supported.
I have been primary driver & did not need bluetooth as I have short commute & try not to use cell much while driving.
However, our other car (2008 Infinit M35) was totaled in accident recently (all ok - young girl ran a red light) & we just bought a 2010 GLK350.
I am going to get the new car & my husband, who is a realtor, is getting the 2004 & could really use bluetooth.
The car has Navigation so will this work in this vehicle. He currently has a Blackberry Bold.
Do we buy this part online & then have MB install or do we buy from them?
Thanks.

The attached web page will answer 90% of your questions. Just look for your year and model. You should be able to use the puck with tail connector, then have the car version coded, telling the computer a phone is installed, and you should be good to go. Last price I heard for the puck with tail module was about $300.00.

Since that list was published of compatible phones a great number of new phones has been added to it. It was my impression, when I had my bluetooth installed at my MB dealer, that all phones with bluetooth capability should work just fine. I currently use a Nokia 6501-I phone that is not on the list and it is perfectly compatible.
Good Luck!

bluetooth is bluetooth...
regardless of which bluetooth phone u have, u should be able to pair the phone...
it's the other features such as callerID and phonebook upload that may or may not support...

OK since my car is for service I just called my advisor & told her to have the V60 cradle replacer installed - we'll give it a shot. I guess hands-free BT through the system is better even if all features don't work IS better than visor mounted device as we plan to keep this puppy awhile. Thanks.

If I don't have it, I'll end up having the dealer put the MHI kit in and get the BT integration kit. I know there are other companies out there that integrate into our cars, but Im not big into splicing up a benz

I can't for the life of me figure out how to pull the floor up in the center armrest. I pulled the cup holders out and there is no screws, tabs, or anything of that sort on the floor. All I have is a forward compartment and a rear compartment. There's the two buttons in between the two compartments. Anyone have a picture of what I'm supposed to be pulling on or how to take it out? All the pictures I've seen on here doesn't look like what I have.
