HELP. I have a 2000 S430 with an integrated phone system using a Startac phone. The Startac has failed on me, it won't charge and has difficulties making calls...rendering it to be basically worthless.

I've check with a couple of dealers and I am told that MB has made the integrated phone system impossible to modify or upgrade.

So here's my dilemma. I can't live without cell phone. I love the integrated phone features. I can't replace an antiquated Startac with something reasonably current like the V-60, the only thing apparently I can do is to have MB get me a "new" startac.

Anyone have suggestions?

 

Have your dealer check with MBUSA. Certain 2000 Year S-Calss models now can be retorfitted with the V60 system.

 

I upgraded my 2001 s startac to the V60

The dealer did the upgrade and it works fine.

 

MJR,

Thanks for info. I'm curious..how much for conversion and how long to complete?

 

i think it was about $1200 w/the new handset and it took a few hours.
