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?

I recommend one of these, simple switch on and connect, no need to butcher your car and its only $55

I have a 2008 CLK 350 and was also told that it was not pre-wired, I was told by somebody else to open the center console and remove the two screws at the back and pull the cover forward, if there are two wires behind there it is pre-wired and can be done a lot cheaper. I checked and found the wires there, so will be getting mine done very soon for around $425.00 I'm told. Hope this helps.
