Bluetooth?

I have the OEM VCS system on my 04 S55. I am wondering whats the best bluetooth adaptor? Is the quality worth it?

Bought my puck at the dealer who installed it for free and got it working perfectly in my 03 s55. I wouldn't consider it a mod although I drive much faster with two hands on the wheel
It is fabulous and works great with my blackberry, I highly reccomend it.

I have an 08 S63. I bought the bluetooth (module 867875878) from the stealer and had them install it. I tested the operation with my old phone - Motorola E815. It worked perfectly. I was able to make calls and recieve calls. However, I recently changed my phone to Blueberry 8830 from Verizon and haven't been able to get it to work. My stealer is washing his hands off this issue saying that the bluetooth is working properly since it works with the Motorola.

Is anyone else running into connectivity issues with Blackberry?

I think the dealer charged me $350 and like I posted earlier, the tech set it up with his phone and when I showed up to pick up the car he set my Blackberry up too. It works perfectly and I have had zero issues. It was installed about 6 months ago.

Thaks Hatrod. May I ask what kind of Blackberry you have and who the carrier is? I wonder if my issue is because my BB is too new and hasn't been tested / approved.
