Question Question to v60 Phone opton users

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.
