Treo 650 not nice

The two problems you have are #1 the car not being pre-wired, that's where the big price tag is coming from. Without it being pre-wired you can't do the the V60 cradle option without a big price tag either. Problem #2 is the Treo iself. Palm's version of Bluetooth does not communicate with the Bluetooth 'Puck' even on 2007's that come pre-wired from the factory. I sell MB's, drive an '06 E500, and have a Treo 650. Haven't looked to see if the Treo 680 program is updated, but beware of any aftermarket option that you can't test to check the connectivity of the Treo beforehand. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I actually think I am pre-wired. I am concerned about the Treo compatibility. I think I'm going to wait for the eurocarphone.com option, which is set to start delivering at the end of January. We'll see.

I've been holding off for the Argos solution as well. I suspect that when they finally do begin shipping, it'll be awhile before they work their way thru the initial orders.

If they first ship in January, I'd be surprised to see anything before March - I've been waiting since last May...

Well you'll get yours before I'll get mine. It's surprising to me that MB has come forth with such a clunky, inelegant bluetooth solution.
