ML350
MHI

Just picked up an 06 ML350 today. Anyway prior to purchase I had researched that you can get a puck for bluetooth. I had researched the ML on MB world first.

My bad- have cut out in the shape of the MHI- but no MHI outlet.

Searched MB world hi & low and think I got the scoop- I need to get MHI installed by the dealer- can it really cost 1K??? I know it's an MB( I had an Audi)- just seams crazy, it has to be mostly wired.

I am thinking I could get MHI adapter and install it. I realize I'd have to have the dealer configure the command system to tell it it has it has MHI

What have folks done? I have teleaid- not sure if that helps w/the pre wiring

Thanks

Did you take the cover off the MHI cutout area? The connector should be under it.

You'd be lucky to get it at that low price.

There are boxes of electronics and antenna considerations, too.
