My new(to me),00 E320,has what is left of the factory phone,the phone himself is missing,however the set up is functional and very annoying,every time I start the car,it makes a loud"beep" and on the dash display,it shows "phone standby",owners manual does not offer info on how to turn the phone off,it redirects you to the phone manual(that I dont have),how should I go about getting rid off the beep,should I pull the phone fuse?,if there is one...

I think I have an operator manual for that phone, you might have one someplace too, like in the glovebox?
What I want to believe is that there is a cradle in the armrest and that there is a sliding on/off switch on the side of the cradle. That should kill it.

i'm of the belief that the dealer needs to code off the annoying DTMF tone
heard during start up. some owners have simply gone in and disconnected
the speaker...which is dedicated for the phone

Thanks,thats what I just did,removed the side panel on the dash and disconnect the speaker with a pair of long pliers...it can be reconnected anytime,no damage done,no more "beep"
