The links below are additional info for the Mik-Box 100 W163 retrofit publication and W203 forum post on on benzworld.org.  The Mik-Box is a low cost alternative to those wanting to upgrade from a StarTac, Timeport, or V60 to a more modern and standard (non-MB) Motorola phone.  Instead of paying $500 for a low tech Mercedes/Motorola phone you can use a wide variety of Motorola phones with your current or newly installed phone integration hardware.  All you need is any 2000+ D2B PSE & phone harness, the Mik-Box & phone cable, and a P2K version Motorola phone.  For a list of compatible phones see the Mik-Box home page.  And take a look at the links below for additional info.  You will need to download the Phone Bulletin specific for your vehicle to see where everything is located.  For new installs you will also need to have your D2B fiber optic network version coded at your local dealership.

NOTE: For those of you wondering how I got the Mercedes Star graphic on my Motorola phones, I used Motorola's (BVRP) Mobile Phone Tools software with a data cable and uploaded it to my phone.  If you have some sort of e-mail/media services with your cell phone provider you may be able to mail it to yourself.  You can download it by clicking the thumbnail below (save the file after it comes up on your screen):
