A family friend just got a new 2004 SL500. It is an incredible car. </P>


What did you pay for the integrated phone for your new SL? Dealer quoted $1900 for the phone. I told him I would look into other options for him.</P>


The car is absolutely amazing, but how amazing can a phone be---for $1900 it doesn't seem worth it.</P>


Any ideas? I tried the "search" function but couldn't come up with any help.</P>

 

The phone itself is certainly not worth the money, it should be free!! why pay for a Motorola V60? (Mercedes gotta get rid of thisphone) But the hands free system is nice. In Taiwan the systems comes standard and both of my parents' car has it. It really saves a lot of trouble (saves life too!)searching for your cell phone when it rings while driving. And because the sound comes out throught the speakers, the quality is wonderful. </P>

I agree. It's not only the phone. It also mutes the radio accepting a call or setting up a call. Combined with voice recognition for dialing and the phone book stored with nick names to call it is really a hands free system

 

expensive and difficult to replace possible in future if lost or stolen, but a wonderful working phone in car. the phone itself is a bit outdated, but that is the sacrifice. some dealers will lower cost but 1900 seems decent..
