2007 CLS 320 CDi Bluetooth advice

[PaulBrum]

Hi - first post, so please be kind

Picked up my 07 CLS 320 CDi (registered March 07 in the UK) yesterday and am over the moon with it so far.

Fully specced up with Comand APS and prewired phone. I'd like to purchase a bluetooth adapter and could do with some advice.

I have a Samsung D900i phone and the Mrs has a Blackberry Pearl. Looking on various sites it would appear I require a Mercedes Bluetooth HFP Cradle. I have however also seen the ViseeO MBU-2 (MBU2000).



Can anyone -

1. Confirm that the above devices are correct for my phones ?
2. Give me any advice with regard to the prons and cons of HFP Vs Viseeo ?
3. Give me any comments on the reliability / quality of these units ?

Finally, can anyone point me in the direction of a cheap UK supplier - MB want about £240 for the HFP, Comand.co.uk are selling the HFP for about the same and the Viseeo for £215.

Help really appreciated

Off to see if I can figure out the workings of the Comand unit.............

Paul

Hi
1. I have an HTP Bluetooth cradle working fine from my Blackberry Pearl 8100 and also my wifes Samsung is ok. The phone books are now downloaded without any problems each time I approach the car
2 & 3 I only have had for some 2 months HTP so can't comment on Viseeo or reliabilty.

The only problem I have had was of my making in that somehow I had some alphabetical characters where the Blackberry was expecting numerical so the phonebook would not download past the end of a character set.
Richard of Comand.co.uk put me right on this and no problems since.
Make sure that you keep taking regular backups though
