You're absolutely correct. I did make that hole to pass two cables
from the mobile phone cradle.(mounted on the right side) I guess
nothing can escape your sharp eyes! I grinded out that half
circle hole using a Dremel tool. One is the main phone cable and
the other one is the mobile phone antennal cable. (6mm and 2mm
in diameter)


I know exactly the Nokia Bluetooth switch you're talking about.
(had one in this car until I switched to a non-Bluetooth mobile
phone) I think a better place for it would be right next to the
rearview mirror and trunk-open switch, just in front of the
cupholder, assuming your W202 has an armrest.

But this largely depends on how you drive. I usually drive with
my left hand on the steering wheel and my right arm resting on
the armrest. Having the switch in the position I described means
I didn't even have to move my right arm to press the Bluetooth
switch.(just use my fingers to reach down there) If you usually
drive with both hands on the wheel, then mounting it on the
CD holder makes sense. I think it looks fine over there.

A friend of mine mounts that switch right on the center wood
trim, on the left of the ASR switch. Looks odd that way, but he
like that position.

Dear bobcat you are really so nice with your explanation.
As far as my sharp eyes, thanks but only with glasses I saw also that your dreamed hole is perfect as if done by factory.

Did you find a fixed phone kit better than the Nokia Bluetooth? I've chose that because of possible phone changing with full interface, plus I do not use very often the phone during drive.

I'll take in great attention your suggestion for the installation: near the trunk open switch or, I I'm actually wondering on the Cd holder itself. ...as your friend done I agree with you, it's not so nice as also my point of view.

NOTE: Usually I drive as you but considering mine is a manual and not auto, sport shifting is quite difficoult with hight centre consolle, but it's really nice and comforting.

I like very much your Beker, please I belive that the FM reception is good, how is the CD signal? Mine is a JVC (top line model of 4 years ago), and CD's are really very nice played.

Thanks a lot
