ILUVMILS - thanks for your input, I did indeed take the plunge on this car, and it does come with the navigation CD's, and I have an option to buy the latest set at dealer cost, not retail.

There's still some work to be done on the car (new ACC control unit and new master key) but all the paperwork is signed - I'm the owner of a blue 2001 W210 E320 4MATIC with 68Kmi. It'll be ready for collection next week!

The one problem I have with the car is the phone. I understand that the onboard Teleaid is analogue only and I can't do anything about that (thus rendering the red "SOS" button useless), but the other phone is Motorola TimePort - it comes with the car, I found it in the armrest). Can that be upgraded to a GSM phone, or to a Bluetooth module?

Edit: I've since discovered that the Tele Aid analogue module can be updated to digital, but at a hefty cost. Is this DIY-able?

Plus, I found the V60 Bluetooth Module for V60-equipped W210's, but I have a TimePort. Where can I get a V60 cradle?
