Considering C230 Sport
Please explain my VIN decode. Questions on features.
Hello everyone. I love this forum! 
I just took delivery on Friday (07/17) of a 2007 C230. Below are the results from the VIN decode. I'm looking to add the hands free functionality to my car. I see mentions of a cradle for a phone but I'm not sure if it's installed or if it may be wired and hidden. When I press any phone button, I get "Feature Unavailable". Also, the "TEL" option doesn't come up on the setup menu. So, I'm not sure what is installed or what I need in addition to the current configuration. Shame on me for assUming that the car was ready for cell phone interfacing, be it wired or otherwise. The entries I'm unsure of are in bold and italics.
VIN WDBRF52H27F890335 Model C 230 Chassis 2030521F890335 Engine 272920 30 517906 Transmission 722998 00 972519 Order 0 7 715 76195 265 installation parts kit and connecting cable harness for TeKaDe BSA 31s car phone with one set
elimination of lettering elegance/sport/esprit
omission of line logo elegance/sport/esprit/classic (с 01.02.1993)

636 elimination of warning triangle (с 01.03.1973)
673 high-capacity battery (с 01.01.1964)

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
