Q: I have just purchased a 2003 Mercedes Benz C200 Kompressor which had an analogue phone installed as standard equipment in the centre console with controls on the steering wheel. I'm unsure how the system worked but am told that it is possible to obtain a newer system which is compatible with what's already there. Do you know if this is true? If so what is it and where do I get one fitted?
Regards, Graeme
A: We contacted Mercedes-Benz Australia to see if they could help out with your enquiry, but unfortunately there is no genuine upgrade available for your vehicle and Mercedes-Benz does not recommend aftermarket systems be fitted to their vehicles. On the other hand there are aftermarket systems available that are specifically compatible with your vehicle such as the MBU-3000 Plus made by Viseeo. This unit simply plugs directly in your vehicle's factory fitted phone cradle and enables the use of the vehicle's phone steering wheel controls, Bluetooth and is compatible with most modern smartphones.
