I believe that the cradle in your car is matched to a specific phone or cradle... for instance, if several different phones were offered by MB that year, you had to buy the matching cradle. The cradle snaps into the pre wire terminal, then the phone snaps into the cradle when in the car.

The answer will lie there anyway, as they are the people to call. Not all phones work well with MB Bluetooth. Check their small crappy list.

In my 2004 E, I had a Motorola V60 cell phone snapped in there. When I got my '07, I ordered it with an MB V710 phone & holster installed (supplied to the dealer by wireless4mb.com
I use the phone always snapped in there on Verizon Family Share plan. I don't remove the phone. The phone then uses the roof mounted antenna, not the antenna on the phone.

How to add a cell phone to an ’03-’04 E-Class or ’04 S-Class
The "Puck with Tail" part number, for use with the CP-211, is B 6 787 5855, and it replaces the cradle (and therefore is sometimes called a "cradle replacer"). This is a particularly easy solution if the car does not already have a V60 cradle. The "Puck with Tail" looks like a V60 puck with a wire and connectors attached. The connectors are plugged into the same ones in the center console that would be used to connect the V60 cradle. The phone bulletins for your car will show those connections.
Version coding if you have a CP-211: Some contributors report that they have not had to have their phone system version coded after installing the V60 cradle or the puck with tail. Their phones have worked right away (probably because the fiber optic controller had been version coded for Tele-Aid, which is part of the CP-211). Others have reported that some features did not work properly - such as showing information on the instrument cluster display - until version coding was done. Proper version coding should ensure that all features that should be included in the system are present. All you really need to do is to set Star to make the phone option "Installed".
Thanks Skylaw
