Bluetooth Phone for 2001 W220

Just purchased a pre-owned S320 2001

Needed to use IPhone in my S320.

Obtained a new MBU1000 ViseeO Bluetooth phone adaptor on ebay - absolutely marvellous product. www.viseeo.com

Plugged it in to phone cradle and it worked first time. All contacts transferred across to Command system, steering wheel controls/handsfree work with phonebook appearing on speedo. Iphone automatically connects to command system when I get into vehicle. I'm more than happy now

You have to have the Nokia pre-wire for it. I bought the MBU-1000 to find out the hard way and had to return it. It won't work for the Motorola pre-wire.

The only other thing I found was the Argos kit: http://www.eiskits.com/MB.html

I believe other members have used it before and have been happy, though at $800, it makes me question its worth.

Yes, I had a Nokia cradle already in it already. Was a plug and play solution for me. At $260AU the perfect solution

That's right, you did the upgrade too with OEM parts. Here's the thread:

that's all you need, if your desire I have a contact that sell v60 cradle it's $125.00 but eliminator cable 49.99. I bought both like cradle better. you can remove old phone leave cradle, put cable eliminator in, use velcro strip on bottom of puck and old cradle to hold in place, works and looks neat under console.

I might be sending you a PM about your contact for the cradle and cable sometime in Jan/Feb. Can you get the universal PSE for a good price also?

the thread that is above has all the contact places to get parts, caution most of these parts are discontinued so if you wait too long, once their sold out you might not be able to find cradle, PSE etc. just do like i did the PSE was 133.50+ shipping, puck you can get on ebay cheaper, the cradle will be hard to find after he sell them all he bought out inventory about 5 left buy a part at a time
