Nokia Phone Pre Wire

Just heard that the Nokia 6310 - that is used in the MB official car phone pre-wire is now finished (end of life)!!!

Are there any plans to integrate a new Nokia phone or will there an upgrade path for existing pre-wired cars?

Cheers

This has always been a problem. Car manufacturers use much longer time in development then manufacturers of cell phones. Due to that, MB has now started delivering the UHI (Universal Handy Interface). One thing I’m not sure of is if you can install an UHI with the wiring you already have for 6310i. I will try to check this out, unless you get an answer here. The UHI should be available for different models from Siemens, Nokia and SonyEricsson

It also helps to have build date and configuration in your signature. I didn't do the config for a long time because it seemed like "bragging". Now I realize that there are so many interdependencies that it helps to have the complete picture - especially if someone has done retrofits.

I've actually not bought the car yet !!!

I want to make sure that I don't pay for an option that only lasts 6 months.

If I was to order Nokia pre-wire can it be changed relatively cheaply to another phone? I assume this would mean a cradle change???

OK. I don't think you can order the Nokia Prewire anymore. Order the UHI, and you should be fine for many years to come. Just buy a new UHI-cradle when you buy a new phone.

Unfortunately the UHI is not available on UK cars!!! Just been onto the MB service desk on 00800 17777777.

They have "suggested" that upgrades may be available in the future.....

I can just say: Do not believe them! One of our members (John - glojo) had the same experience with MB UK when he ordered his new car. They kept on telling him that Linguatronic was not available, until he brought forward evidences from this board. Then they finally had to admit it was available. Just demand that they recheck, or do it through a dealer.

I just ran the German Configurator. Here you will see the UHI option. One option is for a prewired UHI, the other with the actual UHI installed:
