There are many forum discussions on this product. Many users have been happy with it since 2007. https://mbworld.org/forums/audio-ele...mentation.html . Since many users have this installed, you can actually find very good (detailed) documentation in the forum. My installation went very smoothly in the w211.

If you have Audio20 in your car, the BTA-1500 add-on allows you to integrate your phone with your car radio or entertainment system, giving you handsfree telephony so you can make and receive calls on the move as well as stream music direct from your phone. See this discussion -

You may find these items online, ebay, or in stores usually for about $800 (combine, including shipping & handling), such as - http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_s...MO2.html and http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1237 ... I must warn you that I couldn't get the BTA-1500 to work with the COMAND. The GW 500 works great, and the installation was pretty easy. According to Dension and other users, BTA-1500 has been proven to work very well with Audio20. I would like to recover some of the expenses. So, I'm asking for $600 which includes shipping in the continental US.

I prefer not to break these up, but I will entertain selling each piece separately.

Thank you for looking!
