Mercedes Benz
You already know how amazing your Mercedes Benz is. However, did you know that your Mercedes Benz has a sophisticated fiber optic computer network that allows your car to do some amazing things? We have the absolute best tried and tested upgrades and add-ons for your Mercedes Benz. The following items are currently available for your car.
Bluetooth Phone System
iTronic™ BT
is a fully integrated, "same as factory installed" Bluetooth phone solution for Mercedes Benz.
The iTronic™ BT
handsfree Bluetooth phone solution works just like a Mercedes Benz factory installed phone system. It includes full caller-id display and phonebook use1 in the car's built in radio and instrument cluster displays. The iTronic™ BT kit is
a solution that allows you to use any brand phone
and allows you to choose any carrier you desire. In addition, it
allows you to simply get into the car with the phone in your pocket,
purse, or briefcase. When you start your car, the car will automatically connect wirelessly to
your phone.
It is the only certified aftermarket bluetooth phone system for your Mercedes Benz. Full integration means, using
radio or steering wheel controls
to dial, accept/reject calls, browse the cell phone's directory,
voice dialing, etc1. In short, it is designed to work just like a factory installed system would. The unit simply plugs into the network connection
that is under the cd changer in some cars or behind/below the glovebox in other models. Installation is straight forward and simple. It does not require any cutting or modification of the car at all, therefore does not void any manufacturers warranty. The unit is also completely hidden after installation. No unsightly boxes or displays, just like a factory installed system. Many people ask if the car needs to be pre-wired for a phone system...the answer is NO!!! With or without phone pre-wiring, the system will activate all the original factory phone functions intended for your car.
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.
BONUS !!!!- The iTronic™Bluetooth kit can be upgraded on initial purchase to include the iTronic Audio (iPod/iPhone and Auxilary Input) functionality as seen below. Install ONE box and get BOTH features (Bluetooth phone and iPod/iPhone control).

Viseeo for UHI/MHI equipped Mercedes Benz
If your car has UHI (called MHI in North America) preinstalled, then instead of the iTronicBT, you would want the Viseeo™ . UHI has been available since 2005 for Mercedes Benz. If you do not have your original sales receipt, you can determine if your car has UHI by opening up the armrest lid. You will see a connector as pictured below, or you may see a "puck" as pictured below. SOME CARS HAVE THIS IN THE BACK OF THE ARMREST IN A VERTICAL CONFIGURATION. THAT IS OK TOO.
UHI Connector Covered (some cars this is in the rear or the armrest)
UHI Connector Exposed (some cars this is in the rear or the armrest)
Mercedes Brand "puck" or "dongle" installed (some cars this is in the rear or the armrest)
The Viseeo offers a better solution than the Mercedes or AWS Bluetooth adapter (or puck). Viseeo offers one button pairing and works just as Mercedes intended, but with the ability to use any phone from any carrier. It includes full caller id display and phonebook use in the cars built in radio and instrument cluster displays. It
allows you to simply get into the car with the phone in your pocket,
purse, or briefcase. When you start your car, the car will automatically connect wirelessly to
your phone (after an initial one time security 'pairing' procedure). It also offers features that the factory adapter does not. Such as taking a call private, muting the microphone, and software upgradable for future phones and abilities.
What Viseeo ™ offers:
fully
compatible with Mercedes-Benz UHI equipped vehicles
support
of most any Bluetooth equipped mobile
phone
full
duplex hands-free communication with digital echo cancllation

Beware of vendors selling Viseeo units that are named MBU-1000 or MBU-2000. These are obsolete units (discontinued December 2008) and are NOT what we ship. We are the exclusive North American importer of the Viseeo and provide only the latest model with the latest software, the MBU-2. Each MBU-2 kit we provide also contains its own update cables, so that you can update your own unit for future enhancements and phone compatibilities.

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).
NIGHTVISION (FLIR)
See in total darkness with the FLIR nightvision camera.
Cartronics.com has partnered with the world leader in nightvision equipment to bring you the PathFindIR camera. The camera can give you more time to react to road hazards than conventional headlights. It uses the same technology FLIR offers to military agencies to see at night. It features a 36° field-of-view lens, which provides excellent roadside awareness, even at long range. This gives you a better chance of seeing animals and pedestrians approaching the roadway before they become a danger.
CarTronics FLIR Nightvision Camera for Mercedes Benz.
See Clearly in Total Darkness
PathFindIR is a powerful thermal night vision camera that lets drivers see clearly in total darkness. Typical headlights only let you see about 450' straight ahead, but PathFindIR sees heat not light, so you can see everything in front of you. PathFindIR lets you see clearly, night and day, in good weather and bad, without being blinded by the glare of oncoming headlights.
See Road Hazards Sooner, Have More Time to Stop
More time means more options, smoother driving in emergencies, and more room to stop. It's the one thing that can help you avoid traffic accidents. With PathFindIR, you can see pedestrians, cars, animals, and virtually any other hazard from farther away, and as they approach the road from either side.
Benefits
See pedestrians and vehilcels past the glare of oncoming headlights
See many hazards from over four times farther away than with headlights
