I have a cradle with the code A215 8290051 01M08-0914 021619
I have been unable to find out which phone it should use, everything points to a 6210 which i just bought off eBay (£6.20), but it still says phone not connected or in initializing phone but just hangs there .

is there the possibility that the coms box the phone connected to has gone tits up?

any info/comments appreciated

I have always had to use back street phone shops to do this, and most charge £10 and it takes ½ an hour.

Thanks for the details of getting the version number up:D

£6.20p, a bargain, the price from MB was heart stopping, and I needed two!

I found them in Charring Cross Road, W1, brand new at a fraction of the price quoted by MB. How on earth can MB justify there prices on a 'phone that is no different than any other except that it fits the cradle provided is some of their cars.:shock:

Not sure if this is similar to mine. I bought the car with cradle in it but the phone was on a different network to the sim.As soon as the phone was unlocked [£10 at local shop] it was fine .However it doesn't work off the paddles on the steering wheel. It is fine on hands free.Regards,Andy
