all you need is the puck for your year and it looks like the motorola V60 setup. runs 200-300 range.

if you want to get rid of the whole cradle they make a puck with tail,

Thanks a bunch for the input. I was actually just reading through the past threads (great search feature) and came accross http://www.wireless4mb.com/page19/page19.html

Also, when I hit send, it says insert phone so I am guessing I wont need any STAR programming.

I am gonna check if the blackberry storm is compatible since it isnt listed in the list on the site.

Thanks once again guys. Now, I really wished it played music through the Bluetooth as well . Having a wire coming out of the glove box for the phone/ipod etc doesnt look very neat.

My 2010 Mazda CX-9 has streaming audio through bluetooth, and it completely sucks. It just sounds plain terrible, and I would guess that if MB offered streaming audio, it would be like this or worse.

I have the MB V60 phone if you want it , $50.00 and its yours. very nice. works good , I can send you a pic if you want. I dont know what service is currently on it but makes for a nice backup phone on the cradle.

I ran the Iphone cable from the glove box thru the side and down under the center console, if you reach inside you can lift up the bottom plastic piece and then run the cable up inside the console. easy 10min job and very clean , works great. just remove the 2 screws under the glove box then you drill a small hole just large enough for the earphone jack to fit thru, you need the long connector ,I think mine was 4- 5 feet this will give you room to pull it out and use it rather than have to look down and over to the console, I should have done a DIY but went so fast. if you want pics let me know.

Sorry, I didnt read it that way , but here they are. this is in the 05 it has the roll top arm not as user friendly. your clam shell , has a fake bottom. if you remove the carpet and then pull up on the bottom plastic part, it just clips down you will be under the console and then its easier to run up inside. here is the other pics

Also, the only thing in the center console is the phone cradle...does that mean I have to spend a grand to get bluetooth..!!!!!
From looking into this, it looks like the sensor in the drivers door has a tendency to go out due to simple (over) usage. If all other doors work just my walking up and pulling, then you will need the sensor/handle on drivers door replaced. When I was doing my search for a car, I saw this as a common problem. You gotta figure, the driver door gets about 100000X the use of any other door Your car looks awesome, and nice options!

Alright. Finished running the cable. easy DIY and thanks a bundle for the help. You guys are awsome.
I am going to change the supercharger belt (in addition to the fluid (oil, transmission) changes etc). So far, I have compiled the list below to start doing small stuff.

1. Clear front bumper markers (any recom?)
2. Emblems (Darker ones) (any recom?)
3. Bluetooth Puck
4. LED License Plate lights
5. AMG Pedals (Gas, Brake)
6. Illuminated AMG door sills
7. Hardwire V1


As always, open for suggestions.

Has anybody been able to use BB Storm with the Bluetooth puck? I did a search and didnt find anything. Its not on the compatible phone list but I am hoping it will work. (Just want to make sure before I spend $300.00)
