How to Use My iPhone with E500 Phone System

My vehicle doesn't have NAV system but does have a MB Phone Unit in the center console that I have never used. Is it an easy install for my MB Dealer to add a capability for using my iPhone through the existing telephone system? I'm not interested in play music or other features using my iPhone, just answering and making calls. I assume the approach would not be a physical connection like the existing installed MB phone has but using my iPhone's BlueTooth?

Not sure if the latest puck (B67876131) will work with an '03

The older model is B67875878

If mine says, "Phone not installed," what do I have to install to be able to use this?

Actually I found out that the correct MB part number for the V60 Bluetooth Adapter for my 2003 E500 with the V60 Motorola phone installed is B67875856. They're selling currently on eBay between $200 - $400. I just bought one from a seller for $265 with free shipping. Note: eBay buyer protection requires the seller to provide a refund and pay for return shipping if a item doesn't work.

I'm not totally sure about your situation without the V60 phone installed. These adapters for bluetooth capability are MB year/model specific. I've seen an adapter like the one I bought that has a cord with a plug attached that I believe can be used for getting the bluetooth capability if your vehicle doesn't have the V60 phone system. You'll need to research that further yourself or maybe someone on this forum will respond with more definitive info.
