Voice Activation...

Hi all...

Just picked up a 2008 E350 the other day....absolutely love it so far....first Benz of hopefully many more!

Question for anyone on the Voice Activation. I have the lever, but when I activate it, nothing happens. Also, in the SERV menu, I do not see the VC menu option to pick to set up the voice recognition...

Any thoughts on how to go about doing this?

Also...opinions on the bluetooth puck needed to activate a phone (good/bad?) as well as a cable brand recommendation to connect a 3G iPod to the AUX plug (or just suck it up and get the integration kit)

Thanks!

I just got the Bluetooth puck from my '08 E63 and LOVE IT!!! It's frickin' awesome. Works with my iPhone 3G no prob once I learned what the pairing key was.

Did you get the Voice Activation taken care of at the dealer? Any issues?
