MY SL55 ARRIVED!!!!!

Just picked up a 2006 SL55 with 6800 miles...silver with charocal, pano, bi-xenon, vented seats, parktronic, nav, sat, etc

I have a lot of questions, but lets start with blue tooth...

The car has some werid connector in the arm-rest - which looks like I am supposed to attached something... a phone? a cradle? a nipple?

can I get this do do bluetooth and work with my blackberry or do I need to use the cartonics box????

Thanks,
David-

There is no ipod kit for this car. It would most likely be the MHI Phone connection point. Here is a pic. If you do have this then yes you can have your black berry in there. You just need to pick up the bluetooth adapter for it.

Do I just get that from MB? Also, since there seem to be other companies that make similar products - are there any better aftermarket products or is this the best bet?
