Mercedes Forum - Mercedes Benz Enthusiast Forums - So you think you're pre-wired for Hands-Free?

Look carefully at the fine print. IF you are not a YM 2007, you are in for a bit of a surprise. I spent a good bit of today at the dealer, and found out my pre-wired 2005 C230 (Kompressor-SS for what it's worth) is in fact "pre-wired".

BUT-

You need the following 'completion package' to make this work:
1 each Q-6-82-0965 Vehicle Completion
List 1109.75

1 each Q-6-82-0907 Vehicle Completion
List 223.10

1 each 6-7-87-5839 MB BLue Tooth
List 469.20

GRAND TOTAL-
1928.19 plus 300.00 for installation.

Nice.

I suspect that last item is the so-called puck. The 1st item is most likely the MHI interface unit. I didn't ask about the second.

So, caveat emptor. You may wish to seek alternatives to using the MB hands-free system. Warts and all.
