Bluetooth Question

I got a letter from AT&T that starting Fed 2008 they will not support my CDMA Startec Phone that came with my 2002 S-Class. SO my question is....do any manufactures make after market bluetooth kits for our cars and if so where could I get one? Any help or input would be appreciated. Thanks

If I already have a car phone system do I still need the cradle and PSE with Autosense? I would assume the my pre-existing cradle would work.

So I looked into this further and found the following:

1. I have the Timeport Phone which means I will need to purchase the v60 craddle. (V60 cradle short-cord kit Q 682 0724)

2. I do have the PSE with Autosense based on the following information off of:
http://home.earthlink.net/~phdwebsit..._bulletins.htm

2002 Model: PSE “Auto Sense” (SYN 9266A) BQ 682 0754
2003 Model: PSE “Auto Sense” (SYN 9266B) Q 682 0845

Can someone confirm this? From wireless4mb.com there are only about 3 phones available from Verizon, At&T and 2 from Tmobile. Don't know if it differs for the year 2000. I wanted to sync it with my Iphone but don't know if it's possible.

Still Have a problem

I have a 2002 S430. I converted the phone cradle to a V60 and inserted the V60 bluetooth and nothing happened. ie no light came on the puck so I could start the paring process. I have not verified that my PSE is Auto Sense (Syn 9266A) BQ682 0754. Do you think the PSE is the problem?
Thanks,
Dan Tuck

You can try to talk to the guy on the parts department to see if you can try it out and return it if it doesn't work. All electronics are not returnable, exceptions ofcourse. This is what I did but I didn't have to return it. What kind of phone are you syncing?

You might also check fuses and connections, both power and copper wire, to the PSE. Also, everything that should be in your fiber optic loop should be connected (see the phone bulletin for your car; http://home.earthlink.net/~phdwebsit..._bulletins.htm).

I have a 03. I purchased the puck, plugged it in and Viola, worked perfectly with my Samsung I730. I would imagine just about any bluetooth phone would work.
