darn... totally forgot to ask the dealer. he did mentioned the premium 2 package does include cell phone pre-wire. not exactly sure what he meant. I can check with them and get back with ya.
I asked, Bluetooth adpotor (it needs the "pre-wired" option) is a dealer option hence not listed on the order form or as factory option. Goto www.wireless4mb.com, MBUSA has a new way of handling cell phones and hand-free due to problems they had fom the previous models.

by the way...if you have the choice of getting a porsche 911 4s and cls, which one will you all choose?!! (just a random question)
pricing is not available yet, but i am paying $500 over invoice. i imagine it would be the same as the cls500.
porsche and mercedes are two different class of cars... cant really compare, as one is sport and the other is luxury. If i have to pick one, I would go with the benz

No there is no Bluetooth option on the 2006 CLS - although word is Mercedes will be going to BT in 2007+.
Having the 'phone' 'activated' is very expensive $3,000.00 in So. Cal US - also you'll end up with another phone plan and phone number for your car!!!!. I was not happy to hear these details AFTER I bought the car. Pre-sale I was led to believe all I needed was a 'cradle' for a motorola phone.
I did get an after-market wireless Bluetooth voice controller/recg system that I love for about $1k. The installed was done at my home and was a clean job.

Where did you order your 2007? My local dealer isn't willing to discount much.
