For several years, Mercedes Benz has offered a phone option in their vehicles. However, depending on the year of the vehicle, this phone option required the use of a particular dealer provided phone. Moreover, the handsets had to be purchased from a dealership because they had special programming, called firmware, that allowed the phone to integrate into the vehicle. If you purchased the equivalent phone from your local cell phone store and plugged it into the car, you would find that it did little or nothing. Since you were required to purchase this phone from a dealership, you often had to pay $500 for a phone that costs less than $100 at a cell phone store. So if it was lost or broken, you had to purchase it from a dealer all over again. You also had limited choices in carriers, many carriers simply were not offered. These phone systems were also based on a now obsolete analog technology that is no longer serviced by cellular providers. Also, if you live in one of the many states or cities that now has laws against handheld phone use while driving, you may find yourself wearing one of those uncomfortable and ridiculous wired or wireless earpieces. You don't have to settle for this if you drive one of the best automobiles in the world....
CarTronics offers an obsolete-proof bluetooth phone solution for your car that makes your car safer, easier to control, and compliant with all local laws regarding cell phone use.
The Argos is a wireless solution that uses Bluetooth technology that is common in all of todays phones. If you have any phone, PDA, or smartphone with Bluetooth, this is the completely integrated solution for you. If your car was sold in the U.S., your car is already pre-wired for a phone system. This is just a plug-in installation that takes just a few minutes to perform. If your car was sold outside the U.S., your car may or may not be pre-wired (you can call your dealer and give them your VIN number to find out). If your car is not pre-wired, we have an inexpensive kit that will allow the Argos to be installed.
The CarTronics Argos allows you to simply get into the car with the phone in your pocket or purse. The car then connects wirelessly to your phone when you start the car. Make no mistake, this is a fully integrated solution that operates exactly the same as an original factory phone system. Full integration means that all the original factory functions - such as using the factory navigation or other radio head unit and steering wheel controls to dial, accept/reject calls, browse the cell phone's directory, voice dailing1, etc - will work just as Mercedes Benz intended. The unit simply plugs into the network connection that is in your trunk (hidden by a carpet panel).

iPod Audio
This unit can be added to your Mercedes Benz, and does not require that you remove the CD changer (*although in rare instances it may be required to disconnect it). It will allow you to listen to your iPod or other audio device with full quality sound.
Other features include:
- Retain your original CD changer*
- Full iPod control and charging
- USB support for mass storage devices
- Supports most audio file formats
- Plug and play installation/de-installation, perfect for leased vehicles
Should you choose not install it yourself, CarTronics offers a service to find a qualified installer for you. We offer this service to any customer that has already purchased a unit. *Because of the time and research involved, we do not offer this service before a purchase is made.
please note: D2B fiber optic Mercedes are not capable of displaying track title or artist name in the radio display. This applies to any kit from any company. It is a limitation of the car, not the kit. You can refer to the iPod display for that information. However, you can control the iPod from the wheel and radio with the Gateway. In addition, CD Changer retention will work in most applications (about 90%). In those few other applications, simply disable the changer and everything will work fine.

Cartronics AnyStream
AnyStream is a revolutionary Bluetooth device allowing any Bluetooth mobile phone or other device with Bluetooth A2DP compatibility to stream audio to any car, speaker system or device that is intended for use with an Apple iPod.
Today many cars offer a dock connector that links an Apple iPod to the audio system. With the AnyStream you can connect any mobile phone or music player with suitable Bluetooth capabilities. Now they can be connected wirelessly as an audio source (e.g. iPhone/iPod/iPad/Android/Blackberry, etc). AnyStream also enables iPod docking accessories like HiFi stations or iPod speakers to receive audio streams from any Bluetooth source like mobile phones, MP3 players, PDAs or PCs.
Unlike FM transmitters that have poor sound quality because of the analog communication and weak signal strength required by law, AnyStream uses the digital Bluetooth A2DP profile and streams audio in crystal clear, digital quality to the receiving unit like a car stereo or a sound dock. In addition, if remote control commands like stop, pause, play, next or previous title can be executed from the steering wheel of a car to the iPod, the same functionality is provided through the AnyStream adapter to the connected Bluetooth device.
To install, simply plug the AnyStream into the connector designated for an Apple iPod, and it will begin automatically its search for new or paired devices, no software needs to be installed.
If you are using it in the car, and using your phone to connect to the car's bluetooth system (including our bluetooth phone systems), it will also connect to the AnyStream at the same time. It will not interfere with any phone call functions.
As long as the device/dock/cable or car is fully Apple iPod compliant, the AnyStream will work. It will work on both older 12v and newer 5v systems. If for some reason it does not work for your specific application, the AnyStream has a 30 day, 100% money back guarantee (if returned in new condition, shipping not included).

Cartronics StereoStream
For cars (or boats, planes or homes) that don't have an iPod connector or iPod dock, we have the StereoStream. As long as your vehicle or device has a 3.5mm (1/8") stereo input jack, this will work for sure. The StereoStream comes with a standard USB cable that can be permanently powered via the cars accessory/cigarette port - or it also has a built in rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack (the latest in battery technology) that will last about 10 hours of use and about 100 hours of standby time. It will recharge in 2 hours and comes with a USB charging cable. Alternately you can wire directly in to the vehicle electrical system and have it powered all the time, so it is quite versatile and portable. Unlike other similar adapters, this was designed with the audio enthusiast in mind. It uses Bluetooth specification 2.1 for excellent audio quality (most others use 1.2, and the sound quality suffers as a result).

Output: 3.5mm (1/8") stereo plug

notes for Anystream and StereoStream:
Mercedes shipped some cars with this cable. This cable is NOT Apple certified and will not work correctly with the AnyStream or even certainl Apple devices. A newer part number: Mercedes part number A 001 827 82 04 are replacement cables for Media Interface option 518, and does fix the problem in many cases (but not all). However, the StereoStream WILL work with this cable.
There are literally tens of thousands of iPod interaces, cables, speaker docks, etc made in the world. However, some docks and vehicles are not 100% Apple compliant. Of course it is not possible or practicle to test every single scenario. This we can say... The Anystream is a 100% Apple compliant device. Just because your interface will currently play music from an iPod or iPhone does not mean it is 100% compliant. Therefore we offer a 100% money back guarantee, as well as support to help you if the Anystream does not work straight away for some reason.
REMEMBER: THE ANYSTREAM HAS A 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE - TRY IT!!!
If for some reason your application does not work with the Anystream, we always have the StereoStream. It will work with the cable pictured to the left for sure.
In the end, the Anystream has a 30 day 100% money back gurantee and we now have clients and dealers that have gone on to buy 6 - 10 for personal use. So give it a try!

Video in motion WiTH backup camera INPUT
Do you have children? You know that we all worry about them playing around vehicles. The largest single cause of injury and death of children in non-traffic accidents, is being backed over by a car. More than many other types of injury combined. Children being the most important avoidance, many many more cars are damaged by low lying, unseen objects behind your vehicle (curbs, posts, toys, etc etc).
CarTronics VIM/BC is a fully integrated video in motion and backup camera system for Mercedes Benz.
Our VIM/BC (video in motion / backup camera) solution will provide two video inputs, one typically for a backup camera, and one for another video input (such as DVD player, iPod/iPhone video, etc) on your Mercedes Benz with COMAND. Once installed, the button that is blank or labeled TV on the COMAND will activate the video. You can watch live video and also connect it so that when you put the car into reverse, the unit will automatically switch to a backup camera.
Should you choose not install it yourself, CarTronics offers a service to find a qualified installer for you. We offer this service to any customer that has already purchased a unit. *Because of the time and research involved, we do not offer this service before a purchase is made.

| Video in Motion / Backup Input for Mercedes Benz |
|---|
A note about our cameras: All of our cameras have been weatherometer tested (the apparatus in which backup cameras can be subjected to artificial and accelerated weathering tests which simulate natural weathering. Controlled cycles of ultraviolet radiation, light, salt, electric arcs, water spray, and heating elements are used to simulate the natural conditions of sun, rain and temperature changes) and are of the highest quality Sony CCD sensors. They are all 0.7 Lux or better (so they don't need those ugly LED's around the lens) and a very high resolution. You will certainly be able to find a cheaper camera, however, the old adage applies, "you get what you pay for".
CCD vs CMOS: The two types of image sensors that are available for rear view (backup) camera systems are the CCD ("charge coupled device") and CMOS ("complementary metal oxide semiconductor"). The type of image sensor that your rear view camera system uses will be the most important factor in determining picture quality. Besides the overall resolution, a camera that utilizes a CCD image sensor will provide significantly better images under very low and very bright lighting conditions (common in a vehicle application). In addition, CMOS sensors fail to provide an image at all, at moderately low and high tempertures (below 40 degrees and above 95 degrees). Nor will a CMOS image sensor will deliver the quality image that a CCD image sensor will provide. Many lower priced (and some more expensive) systems use the less expensive and inferior CMOS image sensor. Given the option, you should always select a rear view camera system that utilizes a high quality CCD image sensor from a well known manufacturer. Sharp and Sony CCD image sensors are the best available. If the system you're considering purchasing doesn't state that it utilizes a "CCD" image sensor, then it almost certainly doesn't.
Installation of a camera can be time consuming and you only want to do it once. At the time of this writing (August 2010), we have sold and installed over 6200 of our cameras since July 2006, and NOT ONE has failed. Each and every one is tested at the manufacturing facility and again just before shipment.

These headrest systems use the same quality components as above, however the material is color matched only. The stitching, and grain may vary slightly as well as the shape of the headrest.

Tire pressure monitor System

$69.98 |
Cartronics Tire Pressure sensors feature a military specification lithium ion battery with a projected 5 to 7 year battery life. All sensors come complete with a unique valve stem assembly which incorporates a ball joint fitting allowing the sensor to be positioned in the optimum location to prevent any potential damage in service. All sensors are guaranteed 100 percent compatible with the vehicle. Up to 40 percent lesser cost than OEM suppliers
--IF YOUR CAR DOES NOT HAVE A FACTORY TPMS, YOU CAN ADD IT WITH THE KIT BELOW--In 2008 many manufacturers started making TPM systems mandatory on all new vehicles sold in the U.S., but that was mostly safety related to prevent accidents that could be attributed to poor tire inflation. There was probably a little bit of "green thinking" involved in there, too as tire pressure relates to fuel economy and its impact on the nation's oil reserves. Some of these OEM devices are reported to be not as flexible as the Cartronics TPM. Now you can have the current technology (or better!) on any car.
What I like about this model is that you can set the Hi and Lo alarm limits for your application. (OEM TPMS systems might not allow you this flexibility because they don't want you changing anything.) The TPM's display will show green for tires within the limit and turn to red and sound an alarm when the pressure goes outside the limits. You can also set the device to show pressure only, temperature only, or to toggle between temperature and pressure as well as set a temperature alarm. It is also one of the easiest aftermarket devices I've seen to reset when you rotate your tires. You can even hide the display away in a glovebox or armrest and it will sound an alarm when it needs your attention to a problem. The display is only about the size of a credit card.
How It Works
The wireless tire pressure sensors are mounted on your wheels, inside your tires, using special valve stems (each sensor weighs only 1.24 oz). These sensors send pressure and temperature data via a digitally encoded, wireless signal to the receiver mounted in your vehicle. The sensors/transmitters are equipped with motion detectors that turns off data transmission to prolong their lithium batteries' life (estimated at more than 7 years of normal vehicle use).
The system's receiver or display installs like a radar detector; just choose a spot to mount it and plug it into your cigarette lighter or power port or hardwire it for a factory look.

We have both single din and double din kits appropriate for your model Mercedes Benz.

Should you choose not install it yourself, CarTronics offers a service to find a qualified installer for you. We offer this service to any customer that has already purchased a unit. *Because of the time and research involved, we do not offer this service before a purchase is made.

We offer this service to any customer that has already purchased a unit. We used to post a list on our site, but found out that was actually a disservice to our clients. The quality of installers changes over time, and we are concerned with our clients experience. Therefore, we will call recent clients and find out who they used and pass that information on to you. We also want to make sure you get the right combination and setup of items for your car. We don't want a local installer trying to sell you on the highest margin, inappropriate widget of the month. None of our employees work on commission and we want to make sure you get the best items for your car. You will simply take a complete package to the installer and have them perform the labor only. Whenever you order, just ask on the phone, or send an email if you order online. WE GUARRANTEE that we will find an installer for you, or your money back.
