Phone connectivity w203

[Danw203]

So I just purchased a 2005 w203 which has the phone connection yet my iPhone obviously doesn't fit the attachment. Is there an easy way to connect my phone or do I need to eliminate the current install all together and install a new connection. I'd love to be able to use the steering and dash button controls!

I would be interested in this too as I have a c class w203 with some sort of base unit underneath arm rest but no hand set

Assuming you have the Convenience Telephony feature (installed under the centre arm rest), then you will need to Bluetooth adaptor that fits into the top part of the armrest i.e. instead of plugging the phone into the connector inside the arm rest.

You can then use you phone with the car via Bluetooth, though you will obviously need to arrange for your own cradle and charging.
