Hi Craig
I bought a
Mercedes Bluetooth HFP Adapter
Mercedes part number:
B6 788 0000
If you have a mobile prewiring, it just slots into the glove compartment.

I have an oldish iPhone 6S Plus.
The reception is fine and all the integrated telephone features work with the Command perfectly.
When first installed, it took 4 mins to sync a huge address book, but now it active by the time I have started the car and put my seatbelt on
I understand it doesnt use the cars antenna which is a shame but the phone reception is pretty good .. good enough for me.
I dont like 2nd hand stuff but bought it in eBay, was listed as mint perfect boxed etc. And it was. Paid £180 I think.
A pretty simple ... obviously approved solution
Reception has been fine in a rectangle from Oxford to Southampton to Manchester and London
The HFP is another Bluetooth dongle type device that does the same job as my Visseeeeeooooo. So that bit is covered. Ironically on today's trip out, I've had 5 bars everywhere so I guess it's just Bedfordshire"s superb cellular service manifesting itself...
