Looks like I can add Bluetooth and it should be pretty much a factory integration which is pretty awesome. It has steering wheel buttons to accept and end calls for example. Maybe I could even dial through the ancient looking dial pad on the dash.

Requires this part: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-04-W2 ... SwV49ey8IQ
Part 67875855
And has to be coded to accept it at a dealer. Or by me if I had the Star computer system. Basically it just tells the car it has a phone. The module interfaces with the car through all the normal things and this is actually a Mercedes thing (made by Motorola). If I am lucky it will display full caller ID on the dash and maybe even the center speedo display. Now that would be something.
It is also possible that it will just work if the car has been previously coded with a phone. Or factory coded. So maybe I'll just try it.
Installation video. Haven't watched.

Ordered the part from eBay. $203.25. At least I can make this stupid nav-less COMAND system do something useful for me...
