Someone in SF Bay Area who wants to help with Bluetooth?

I need someone in the Bay Area with a W211 with either:

1) an installed and working integrated V60 phone, whose car I can hook things up into for testing

- or -

2) a Mercedes-labeled V60 that will work with the W211 system, that I can borrow to use in my car/system

Sorry, I am just too cheap to go buy a phone that I will never use again... I'll buy just about any Nokia phone, but the V60 is just out of the question.

No announcements yet.

All you people talk about wanting Bluetooth but no one around here has a car with an integrated phone?

I'm on the verge of an important discovery!

Well... the Nokia 6230 with built-in MP3 player lets you play music over the bluetooth connection... unfortunately the car only has provision over bluetooth for mono audio at this time.

I know you would! But unfortunately, I don't have the mobile research facilities that I need...

I'd let you disect my car if you could get Bluetooth for my V600 or any of my phones for that matter.
