Does anyone recognise the make/model of this car phone adaptor?

[baddad59]

Hi all. I have a integrated car phone in my 2004 c class with what looks like an aftermarket adaptor. The car has a phone aerial and mic installed and the dash controls 'start' the connection process but it doesn't 'find' phone.
There are no markings whatsoever on the cradle, the only recognisable bit is the micro usb, witch does not work when plugged directly in to the phone.
I am assuming the cradle holds a bluetooth adaptor but which one!
Many thanks in advance.

Could it be something a little more industrial and not a phone?

Its the dock for a Pure Highway 300Di DAB Tuner.

Thanks!!! What a relief. Iv'e nearly lost my mind trying to find a Google image to match thinking it had to be phone related!
Good call Mercedes-2010
Many many thanks Mr Foti. (Now I have a new obsession, find that Dab tuner head).

You are welcome. Hope it is all wired in properly. Nice find

£64.95 for a complete kit as I cant find just the Head unit but worth it as it appears I can plug phone music into the intergrated aux/usb.
I purchased the MB Aux lead that connects beneath the sill cover and fits in a knock out in the glove box, but when I press and hold the CDC button, a radio channel plays!?!? radio Heart to be exact but can't be changed and isn't in the radios

OOOP's
isn't in the radios memory.
Thank you again for your knowledge and assistance.

It's probably the dab tuner. I wonder if it still works without the head attached.

I can try in mine if you want. I have the same one.

 

[baddad59]

Ooh thats tempting . I've got one in my #bay basket and might buy at the end of the month. I'm in Bracknell Berks and work nr Camberly. Anywhere near you?

 

[alexanderfoti]

I am not too far from you.

I meant that I would tune into a dab station then remove the head unit (bit you are missing) from my car, and see if it still plays the radio that I tuned into.

probably will

 

[baddad59]

Yes, I realised that about 20 minutes after I pressed post !
Anyway.
Just won a second hand kit from a well known online auction ect ect and will report back when it arrives.
Regards, baddad59.

Excellent piece of kit. Had one in my old Mondeo I just sold and it never dropped a signal wherever I was, which is more than I can say for the dab in my CLS

Hello all.
Well, all is made clear! The popular auction site parcel contained a new (old stock) Pure Highway 300Di kit and I am now enjoying DAB in all it's glory!!
It was exactly as Mr A Foti predicted, the tuner/player part of the setup was left behind the dash and remained tuned into 'Heart' radio. All the head unit does is change station, input, back-light settings ect.
The head unit was all that was required and i'm left with the rest of the fitting kit for spares.
Many thanks all, couldn't of done it without your help.
