Best Bluetooth Option?
I have a 2005 E55 and wondering the best way to use the Comand functions and steering wheel controls with my phone. I have a Samsung GIII if it matters and based on my search of the forums so far, I want to look at the following:

MB BT MHI B67876131 ~$500
Viseeo MB2 ~$300


Any other options out there that would be better? Anyone with either of these installed that can comment? TIA

EDIT: It actually appears I might have to install MHI since I have no connector plate available.

I've got the Viseo and I'm not sure if it's the actual part which is rubbish or my car, but the call quality is seemingly very poor. I can hear callers, but they always complain about the call quality. I bought the tiny MB adaptor, but that doesn't fit my car (I have the Nokia 6210 cradle) so I'm not sure if I have any other options.

Seems silly to me to spend ~$700 + just for bluetooth....I'd go a cheaper route or upgrade the entire head unit with a double DIN setup....The Jabra HFS100 works very well and is < $100 IIRC.

How were you able to swap to a NTG2.5? Wont them mean you had to replace amps and everything?

I gave up on that crap and bought a Jabra BT unit that attaches to the sunvisor.
Simple and very effective. Spaceship status.

Yup. Head unit, iPod interface, SDAR, ctel and agw. All replaced with headunit HDSDAR, Main Amp and Sub Amp

Sounds MUCH better and has decent nav with traffic. HD Radio and Sirius I also added the Bluetooth multimedia interface
