SL500
Tiggerfink or anyone....

Do you guys know if I get a mikbox for my Motorola V60g phone to use on my 2003 SL500, would i be able to upgrade my phone later to a V635g and still use the same mikbox? or would I have to buy another mikbox or change mikbox software? or does mikbox use the same software for these two phones?

Will Cingular accept that phone? If so, it should work in your car with no issues. Cingular would not let me use that phone on my account last year. They said it was too old.

Need to ask Mik at www.mikbox.com. It should use the same software and same mikbox. You may have to get a new cradle. But please verify with Mik.

Thumbs up Argos BT Unit in SL600

I have succesfully installed the Argos unit in my 04 SL600, very straightforward. The unit recognized my Cingular Motorola RAZR and paired with it on the first try. Every time I get in the car it goes through it's connecting routine, so I am happy to this point. I am having some address book upload and software "issues" and working with the Argos guys to resolve. I will be posting tips, tricks and pictures on their forum at http://www.bluecarkit.com/forum/ soon...

SL500
I need a Argos SL-class installation manual and user guide

Hello All,

I know I'm resurrecting an old discussion but I recently purchased a 2003 Mercedes Benz SL500 and also purchased an Argos for bluetooth capabilities.

This thread has answered a lot of my questions but I wanted to know if anyone has an Argos installation manual for the SL-Class?

I was able to find manuals for the S-class, C-class, CLK-class, and the E-class but nothing for the SL...and it appears that neither EISkits, Cartronics, nor Aardvark Multimedia are available for questioning..

Thanks,

Kendall
