Hi folks,
Im new to the forum, but have had MBs for many years. I've always found them good value, and my 190/C-class motors have never cost me more than a Mondeo overall. As a private buyer I just cant afford to buy anything less!
Ive just traded in a much loved C200 Kompressor after five happy years and taken delivery of my new-model C class 220 Cdi (2007- ). :bannana:
It was a demonstrator and it has arrived with phone pre-wiring installed ( mic, spkrs, keypad, bluetooth).
To connect my phone in to the system and hold it in place while I'm driving I need to buy a cradle for the phone. This is basically a shaped piece of plastic with a plug on the end to hold the phone, and which will sit on a ledge in the central console. I reckon it would cost someone a fiver to bring it in from China! However, being MB they want £150 for this piece of plastic with a plug on the end, which quite frankly is taking the p**s big time, and its not a company car so I'm paying the bill myself.
It's clearly not worth £150 of my after tax income, but I am equally sure that there will a load of after-market companies out there who will already have their eye on this sort of thing. Can any one of you kind souls point me in the direction of a suitable firm?
Many thanks in anticipation,
