If you don't have the connector for the puck, you're in a world of hurt. If you want to retrofit OEM, you're talking over a grand and close to $1500 if memory serves.

There are some aftermarket kits for about $900.00. Try www.Incartronics.com

Check the dealer... i was suprised last week when i priced out a phone kit for around 900..
It seems some of the accessory pricing has come down some... Its worth a look and if you already have the puck you wont have to buy that..

The Cartronics kits look pretty cool. Seems like thier integrtion is more capable than the factory one. I really like the iPhone/iphod integration.

Anyone have experience with that set up.

Also make sure the Command has been upgraded to digital.
I don't know what year this occurred, but in my 03 SL55 the phone part of Command is a paperweight.
The stealer wanted $1200 to upgrade to digital. Not worth it IMO.
