Bluetooth - CLK 350

[jaydv]

Wonder if anyone can help! Just bought a 2007 CLK 350 WITHOUT a "premium package." I want to hook up a Bluetooth to get my cell phone to work through the car speakers. The car has all the buttons on the dash and steering wheel to control a phone.

Dealer is telling me that the car isn't "pre-wired" to do this but he can install a "kit" for $2500! I thought that all I would have to do is install Bluetooth (about $450).

Can anyone give me some advice? Options? Is the dealer BSing me?

THANKS!!!

I just purchased a 2008 CLK converable, It does have the Premium package, but I almost fainted when I heard what the dealer wanted to charge to add blue tooth.

Have you or anyone had success upgrading to bluetooth with some 3rd party product?
