I'm having the Motorola v60 wireless phone option put in my E500 next week.

Question: Can I buy my wife a v60 phone, in addition to mind, with her own separate ph number and either of them work in the car depending who's drivng it and which phone is installed?

I assume the phone's memory (e.g., programed name/phone numbers, last # called, missed calls, etc.) drives the cars displays and therefore, that's what you'll see when either v60 phone in installed?

Thanks Mark

jyg e500 maybe

phone is a v60, but its propriatory to MB. it
has special software, not interchanagble with standard v60 phone, That's the way it works with BMW, sure same with MB

what if I bought both phones from Mercedes..... would two phones work then in the same car?

Thanks Mark

jyg e500 maybe

that's expensive though.

If both are Mercedes phones, it will work in the same car, my Timeports does.

Check Ebay, at least once a week they have a MB v60 phone on sale for about 1/2 the price at the dealership.

but the phone on ebay is it an mb oem?

all MB v60's will work in the car. They come in 2 versions 1) cdma - for Verizon and 2) tdma - for AT&T. It would be great if MB would sell additional phones without having to buy the $1500 phone install package. The phone itself should cost around $250. Let me know what you find out!! mp

Mercedes does sell the phones separate. For about $450 a pop.

YOU CAN USE ANY V60 PHONE IN YOUR E CLASS. of course i have one that came with the car. buy my girl friend also has a v60 from cigular or verizon i think, and when she puts her phone in my car, everything works fine. so get any v60, doesnt HAVE to be mbz

Does anyone know about v60 variations? Like v60i (or 60c?) - I was in Verizon store last week and didn't notice straight v60.

awiner

You may want to try that again. It simply doesn't work.

mbprince

pogotango - my wife and I each have a Motorola V60 from AT&T and they 'definitely' do not work with the MB phone cradle ........... when I plug them in it looks like they are starting to connect and then the display says please connect phone. Maybe the one's you have work because they are CDMA and mine (AT&T) are TDMA and the firmware is different. I will try to borrow a Verizon V60 and see if it works!!

awiner

I've tried every possbile v60 phone. None work. The only thing Non Mercedes branded v60's will do is charge in the cradle. That is it.

thanks Adam
question - when will I be able to upload a jpg for my sig and avatar? the site hasn't had this available for a while now ......... is this being remedied? mp

awiner

Give it a try now. Looks to be working.

mbprince

when I go to the upload section, at the bottom of the page, I get this message:

We're sorry, but the 'Upload Picture' feature has been temporarily shutdown. If you wish to attach images to your posts, please use the 'Attach File' feature from within your post. If you have any questions, please contact us at forums@MBworld.org

awiner

Sorry. I mis-read. The avatar option is working. The uploads for other items are indeed didabled until further notice. You can host your sig at a number of free hosting pages however.

mbprince

thanks awiner, finally figured it out (web hosting of jpg).

pogotango

My E240 has Nokia 6310 phone installed. I tried to put my friend's 6310 phone into but it doesn't work. It displays" NO PHONE". Dealer said must buy the phone from MB.

I don't know if it is really relevant to the thread, but my E class with Nokia phone prep will take any Nokia 5110,6110, 6310 etc. None are MB phones. Don't know anything about the Motorola V60 version though.

muhri

Check your phone software version. In the MB radio catalog or the other one I'm not sure - it mentions which nokia software version should be running on your phone. I know some 6210's dont work on my car due to their version being old.

Thanks Muhri,
I will try.

My PHONe, you can see the MB sign
