Bluetooth/Telephone setup help

I am 2nd owner of my SL500. There is a small plastic square with the stamp "FoneFree" glued(?) in a rather poorly planned place on the driver's armrest, and when I go thru the menus I find a screen reading "Telephone" and "No Phone".

Does everyone's SL have this (is it factory or can I pull it out)? Anyone know how to set up the phone system to work with my current Verizon cellphone?

take a photo and post what you have in the console. Could be just the connector and you need to buy the actual bluetooth dongle that attaches to it.
