Bought a used S500 which phone is this?

I just bought a 2001 S500, the window sticker says it has the timeport phone, I am trying to figure out how to add bluetooth, but when i googled what a timeport cable looks like this isn't it. What phone setup is this?

That looks like the Startac to me, you should just be able to get the bluetooth puck and be okay, but don't quote me on that. I have it and it's great!

Bluetooth Puck

This is what you need, check that you have the correct contoller in the trunk. Keep the startac holder. Works like a champ!

I also had to replace the connector with a separate cable and replace the controller in the trunk. Just depends which options your car came preinstalled with. I think models after Sept 2001 came with the new controller in the trunk but mine was Feb 2001. $600 total and it was plug and play!
