got it today!!!

hi guys.
i have had many mb over the years and have just sold my 911. been lurking for a while and have been looking for an sl.
got a 2005 silver/charcoal sport today. it is a cpo from mbz. normally like to buy private but have been concerned re warranties and decided to bite the bullett.
loved the drive home and am fairly familier with command controls as i had a e350 recently.
q?

says pre wired on sticker but no puck for b/tooth....easy cheap conversion?
thanks

Bluetooth puck attaches in the upper level of the center console. Works fine with my iPhone

Congrats Spike! Sweet lookin ride... I think you'll be happy with the CPO option as well since these machines can get quite pricey when it comes to repairs.

I gotta say, you guys that all have palm trees in the backgrounds of your picts are killing me! My baby gets put away in a few months and you get to enjoy yours all year long. Oh well, enough self pity.

Again Congrats and enjoy!
