What's the difference between the 2003 and the 2003+ telephone system?
The 2003 is CD based navigation and 2003+ DVD, is the wiring system different?
Thanks

2003 is still D2B while the 2004 went to MOST as with many european cars.
the two are NOT compatible in any way.
Since the two Phone systems both use their respective networks, they are different also.

Also, the D2B system is analog which is no longer available in the US. Therefore, those systems can't be used with the roadside assistance where you push the SOS buttion. Mercedes converted to digital at the end of 07. I was told that it would cost about $1500 to do the conversion. I'm sure it is probably more. My car (2003) does have the integrated telephone system which accepts voice commands for CD, Radio, telephone, but not the navigation.

See post #2 at https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...fferences.html and follow the links for some additional differences in phones and nav (also COMAND); though not the same, they are related). Sorry the posts discuss a lot of other things you didn't ask about, but the data you want is there, and especially in the links.
