upgrading Command sys to Bluetooth

**BradSLK55(IN)** · 06-26-2008

I have Command Nav system now in my 06, but no phone cradle in the armrest. Has anyone (without phone installed) got an estimate on upgrading to bluetooth phone sytem through a dealership? I imagine it is fairly expensive.

Brad, check out this link on the cost and installation of the MB Bluetooth system. Ths is an old link, three pages long, with some good information. Etyu had the MB system installed on his 2008 SLK 55 by the dealer after delivery and can provide more insight if it's not covered in this post.

Is this an install on a car with pre-wire? Being in the US i'd bet it is.

I had the phone dock that comes with the nokia 6610i but when I took the car for service I got them to upgrade my car to the MB bluetooth hub and Ipod kit for a reasonable amount some were along the lines of 1,300 with installation or 1,500 not really sure.
