Connecting a Phone

[jediblade]

I've bought an E Class W211 although there is pre wiring for a phone there's just a socket in the arm rest compartment. I'm I better getting a plug in connector off e-bay that will work with all phones or should I go down the parrot route?

I'd like to be able to use my phone for making and receiving calls as well as playing my music collection, Ideally I'd like the track selection etc to come up on my comand screen.

Search the threads on here there are loads about phone cradles and iPod connections

As you have telephone pre-wire it would be silly to ditch it and go with Parrot and possibly loose steering wheel controls. Get a phone specific cradle or one of the many bluetooth pucks.

Which phone do you have?

At the moment I have a Samsung Galaxy but I'll be changing at the end of the year when the contract runs out and then again a year later. I don't want to have to buy a different cradle each time I change phone. Would this do the trick?

This one is more versatile and user upgradeable, so as newer phones come out it doesn't become obsolete ...
