Pre-wired phone, Do I need the radio/CD on?
I have phone pre wired in my e320cdi. fitted the cradle yesterday. Do I need to have the radio or CD on for the phone to function? If they are off, the display on the centre of the speedo states 'phone off' I know it makes sense for the radio/cd to be on if I want to make a call, but what if I want a quiet drive and the phone ready for incoming calls?

Phone & Head unit must be on. You can turn the radio volume down to not hear it. This will not effect the phone volume. Whatever is playing when you adjust the volume, is the only volume level that is adjusted.

Any word on when the phones are coming for the 05 CDIs here? I'm waiting on my dealer for the V710 (Verizon). Any info anyone has and can share would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Not received any calls in in my new E with the radio off, but I think Fazooly is right: in wife's CLK it works fine - incoming calls come in with radio switched off. Perhaps it depends on what head unit/sat nav is installed?
