Quick Phone Question!

[lingsim]

Hi, just purchased a 2003 E320cdi (pics will follow at a later date!):mrgreen:

It has the pre wired phone thing, but i have not got the phone.

My question is, is it a nokia 6310 or 6310i, or do they both work?

And can i change the cradle thing to use a different phone??/?

I got a new cradle from Merc today for my car - depends on the model you have, but the later ones have a cradle that can be swapped at a not insignifcant £131. The old one I had was for a 6310i. Mine is a Oct 03 CLK if that helps (probably not).

The phone cradle can be changed, but they do not have one for every phone model, so it's worth asking a dealer. Cradles cost about £130 and just clip into place.

you can use the 6150,6210 and maybe 6310 and 6310i, the early holder do not work with the 6310i
you can change the holder £130 but its easier to buy a 6210 like I did for £20 on Ebay.

Does depend on whether you have the type that can be swapped. Dealer will be able to tell you in 10s. Alternatively, if there isn't one near to you, I can email you a photo of mine if that helps. Only after the weekend though...

Mine is a 2004 E320 cdi and the bracket can not be changed, so I assume the '03 one is also not changeable.

It works with both the 6230i/6230. The upside of this is they were such popular business phones, you can get many good 2nd hand ones to buy.

I did that and got a spare sim for it and use it as my 'car phone' so don't need to take it in and out.

In most parts of Europe you can get a dual SIM (two SIMS for the same number) for just this purpose, but can't in RIP off UK

The system changed on the 04 model year - so mine is swappable but some other 04's I looked at couldn't be.

If you are quick you can get the Nokia 6230i at TESCO now for £77. Since I paid nearly £200 I think that is a bargain. great phone and takes exellent photos.
