The phone help thread is interesting but geared to older phones. I'm having trouble with my factory Startac 7860.

This phone is part of the voice activated system on a MY2000. It was working and has suddenly stopped. The phone works fine in portable mode, however in the cradle the system thinks there is no phone?

Also, does the software in the phone need to be upgraded by Mercedes every so often to keep up with provider software upgrades?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
