<div class="bbWrapper">Hi All<br />
<br />
thought I'd post this as a newbie to MB and the W211 this confused me a little as initially I didn't know what I was looking for and the connections I had disnt look like the images I was seeing on the web.<br />
<br />
Got new (to me) 2009 year W211 that had factory fit pre wiring for mobile phone but as noted didn't know what I was looking for, what I had in my car looked like the connector but was stood up at the rear of the centre console box and had a plastic surround, See 1st Pic.<br />
<br />
What I needed was a holder, they only did these for the more common phones, fortunately I had a old (very) Nokia 6020 lying around so I picked up the official MB cradle for this off eBay, see pic 2.<br />
<br />
Holder simply clips into the kit in the car, phone clips into holder pic 3.<br />
<br />
What then had me reaching for the phone guide was the car still saying insert phone. Turns out on the Nokia 6020 there's a menu item <Enhancements> that only appears after the handset has been connected to an Enhancement, like a hands free kit. Take phone out, scroll through menu, into Enhancements, select Handsfree and pop back in to car and all is good.<br />
<br />
Ultimately I'll fit a Bluetooth kit but as the moment I've got a fully functional car phone for the cost of the cradle off eBay. Result.</div>
