I recently purchased a new 2005 S with the car pre wired for the phone except for a cradle and of course the phone. What gets me is that I am being told that I can't go down to the local carrier store and purchase a V600 from T-Mobile that will work in the vehicle seemlessly. It seems that I have to buy a MBz brand phone. The T-Mobile phone after rebates, etc. actually pays me back $75 and phone only costs $179. I am hearing that the MBz phone has specific proprietary software/firmware that makes it work with the vehicle. Is this true? I can't just buy a Motorola V600 from the local wireless carrier and get it to work with the vehicle?
In a nutshell, if the vehicle is prewired what do I need to purchase? The cradle and phone only? If so, does anyone know of reputable places that sell the cradle and the phone without paying ridiculous overpriced money for changing technology. Thanks for all of your help.
