E200K, W211 - MY 2004. Audio 20 CD with CDC and phone contols on the s/wheel. Is the car wired for a UHI phone system as standard or is it an option? if so where do I locate the UHI phone controller to install the bluetooth HFP cradle with appropriate cable. If its not a standard option I guess I need to purchase the kit from command online.

Hi,

It is not standard, the connector would be in the top section of the central armrest glovebox (on a MY04 W211) if you have the option.

Cheers

Richard

Thanks Richard. I will take the central armrest apart (its a 2 part console) to see if any of the components were installed, especially the UHI controller. If not I will order the MOST kit from command online, just have to get them to exclude the VAT (export) with the blueooth HFP device.

There will be nothing installed .. UHI controller (if factory fit) is in the compartment under the boot floor (deep into the boot, by the back seat). Also, with factory fit the top of the armrest splits in two (so the retrofit centre console parts are not a perfect fit on the W211 - but the finish is good, not quite same as factory build unless you get a new armrest top.

VAT & Comand Online Ltd - If you are outside Europe, just sign in and register it will know not to charge VAT. If you are inside Europe and outside UK then register, email them with your VAT number which they will check and then set the account to VAT free having checked the addresses against the European VAT checking service. But the VAT rules changed recently to make it easy to reclaim the VAT (if in Europe) when buying from other countries.

Cheers

Richard
