2005 E220 CDI
W211 phone module
Morning all,
I have a 2005 E220 CDi as a second car, and have to say I am really impressed with it !
I am thinking about adding a phone module as one is not fitted at the moment.
Does anyone know if :
1. A used one from a breakers yard ( I damaged and in working order ) would simply be a plug and play option, or
2. A used one would require “ coding “ , if so would this be a main dealer or a good independent garage?
My car has the necessary head unit, just needs the phone module itself.
Thanks in anticipation, hopefully the answer is no.1 !,,
Many Thanks
Jim

Do a search, there are many threads. Attached are the instructions I used to install factory Bluetooth in my 05 CDI. The hands free calling works but the system does not support Bluetooth audio streaming. Coding is required to get full functionally.
I also installed the voice control module. It worked but is unable to control a Bluetooth phone or MP3 tracks on a disc. Overall its capability limited compared to a more modern system.
