The Argos Bluetooth for W211 finally set to ship?
Ok,
So I just got off of the phone with the guys at EuroCarPhone.com. As many of you here know, the Argos bluetooth unit for our cars has been delayed time and time again. They are now saying that the first batch is set to ship the week after next. Currently they have over 2000 people who have signed up on their waiting list and they are fulfilling those orders first. Depending on when you got on that list, you'll be receiving an email stating that it's available. I got on the list in August of 2006 and I was told that I was at about the 1000 person mark. He said availability for me would be about the beginning of March.
I know we've all heard this before but seems like they're getting real close.
For those who don't know what this is. It's basically a bluetooth solution for those of us who don't have the factory MB phone system installed in our cars. This little module attaches in the trunk of our cars, with 1 connection I believe, and it gives you complete integration of your bluetooth phone into COMAND, supposedly. It will download your phone book, you can use the steering wheel to place and receive calls, caller-id...the whole enchilada...again, supposedly.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this

Thanks for the heads up!
I can't remember if I put myself on any list...it's been so long. I believe there was a sign-up on their website, correct?
Is their definite pricing for our application?
