I got my bluetooth module about 2 weeks ago and it took 10 seconds to install, it just plugs into the port in the console, the book gives you a password to enter into your phone when it prompts and thats it. The reception so far is great. I was told by the lady at the mbwireless website that my phone (black rzr) would not work and the software in my phone was not compatible but she would sell me an older software silver rzr for $350.00! I gambled and tried my phone and no problems. The module wont support call waiting so that kinda sucks but range and reception are great. I bought mine from the dealer for $309.00, I think its worth it.

My Dad has had poor phone reception in his new S550 - probably due to the glass - but I noticed that only when docked in the cradle the external antenna is accessed - via the bluetooth module the external antenna is not utilized. It says this on the website although two dealers and Mercedes have told me different. I think that is an important note about the external antenna.

Mine have really bad for the calling party. I can hear other end fine, but they wont hear me well... I have Nextel I870 phone, it sound like I am driving with all the windows open (All other people had told me). Come to think about maybe is the Mic under the Rear View mirror is defect. Or simplely is Nextel I870 is not compatible with this? It works fine on all mine other bluetooth. Going to try with Sharp V903 see if it work.

BT Module wit Treo 650?
I ordered the BT Module and when they called me to confirm shipping, they said it would not work with the Treo 650, so I decided not to order it. Has anyone tested it with the Treo 650 yet?

FYI on MB phone options:
www.wireless4mb.com
It's a website that I saw listed in the W221 Accessories catalog on the Hands-Free Communication System page (page 16). It has some info that may be helpful to folks.

When using the bluetooth module does anyone know if you can opt to use a bluetooth headset and still be able to have the radio on. My wife likes to listen to the radio, drive and talk on the phone at the same time.

By the way, you can use the BT headset even if there was not BT dongle. The headset connects to the Comand (or the UHI/MHI BT interface actually) instead of the BT adapter.

Of Course, I have a Plantronics Discovery 925 and I can switch over between the headset and the Bluetooth Module in the S-Class no problem.
