Those are pretty good prices from a dealer for those parts. My dealer quoted me over $200 for the PSE and I've seen the Cradle Eliminator Cable and Puck for more than that on ebay. According to Gregs210, Duvall Mercedes in Florida is the cheapest dealer for parts and even paying shipping charges you can often save quite a bit by buying from them. They recently quoted me $1000 plus shipping for a catalytic converter that my local dealer...

Just to muddy the waters a bit. Mercedes Benz of Monterey is selling a " Brand New Mercedes-Benz V60 Bluetooth Cradle Adaptor." I wrote to them, asking if the Blackberry Storm (aka 9530) is supported. Their response was, " The 9530 storm with Verizon service is supported." You pays your money and you takes your chances. __________________ The United States has become a place where entertainers and...

Ok, pulled everything out of the trunk to compare to the bulletin -- while I have a 2006 and the bulletin is 2005, I'm pretty sure that I don't have any of the parts they reference in the bulletin. The electronics bay is completely bare except for one tiny black box -- the antennae switch shown in fig 8 is not there. Pulled the right side trunk panel to look for the linear compensator/UHI control module and I don't have that...

Should the blue light go on whether the car has been version coded yet or not?

Ok, so what am I missing here. V60s phone on the cradle elimator cable. Phone has MBZ software. Orange phone cables in the trunk that connect to a box labeled "motorola" yet the car says "no phone" Maybe my cables aren't connected correctly or I am still missing a part. Any help? Pics of phone and trunk setup included.

skylaw: roger that, finally got the answer I was hoping for-again thanks for the reply. Joker P.S. I was resisting this whole iphone thing but they really have anice, user friendly interface product.
