Not sure you understand, that for this to work, you have to have already have the factory (or dealer) installed MHI Hands Free Communication System, which list for $925 in the US as factory option. For dealer to install it will be $925 plus labor hours.

Then you buy this BT module for $350.

So you are looking at $1500 to $2000 BEFORE getting a phone!

Of course if you already have BT phone, and you already have MHI installed, then it's just another $350.

What...around $1500?!? I didn't think about that. Considering it's standard on some vehicles (Infiniti M & Lexus IS to name a few), I think it's B.S. for Mercedes not to include it as a standard feature.
