Talking One week to Launch...

...Edition!

Hi All!
I'm taking the plunge! I talked to my dealer yesterday. My LE is at the port in Baltimore! I can't wait! At least it's not too long! This is a great forum, lots of great topics.

Are most people doing the bluetooth (can't understand why it's not built in) or the hard wired phone? Thanks in advance!

I would like to do the hardwire phone but since I have a nextel blackberry 7520, there are not any integration options available. I have not read too much how the bluetooth function will work since I already have a bluetooth headset for my phone. I would definitely like to hear what people are doing. By the way my LE is here I am just waiting to close on my house to take delivery. Good luck with your purchase.

Thanks very much and good luck to you and all of the new owners as well! I'm on the fence as I need a new phone because my phone goes back with my 745Li at lease end. I'm curious to see what the concensus is!

I would go with one of the approved phones on the AWS site (you can buy them at the local cell store) and then order the proper cradle for $220. It totally integrates the phone into COMAND. I have it on my S430 and will take the cradle and phone when I trade it and plug it into the S550.

GTW, I have the Moto V557 and it works fine.





Post pictures guys...

Thanks Jack

I'll check it out. Great photos as usual! I want to have something ready when I take delivery. I can't wait to get the car! I really can't complain though as I have a short wait compared to you.

Best of luck to you with yours! I almost PM'd you about your 2006, what a beautiful car!
Thanks again,
Jan
