What do I need to complete a Bluetooth install??

I have a 2007 R500 w/ a NAV and Rear Ent. System. I want to add a Bluetooth system into the car. I took the fake floor off the armrest and found two plugs available under there. Not sure if I just need the connector on there so that I can use a BT puck to connect into it or do I need something even more.

My E550 had the cradle for the puck, this doesn't. Thanks in advance guys.

open your top portion of the armrest

Is there a trapazoid looking piece of plastic in the middle of it? Or is it just all felt with a cutout looking thing, but no plastic?

if you have it, remove the plastic trapazoid, and voila, plug the BT puck in...if it doesn't, you'll need the entire retrofit.

email steveNL or sunman...$1100 for the entire system if i recall correctly

I found one on craigslist, here is a link to ebay. Lot cheaper and easy to install if you have the connection.
