Exactly the same things as a HCB-700 combined with a Mobile Holder and external antenna connector, only for twice the price and using odd-ball proprietry software. Why do Merc have to reinvent the wheel? Is AVRCP and other current BT profiles not good enough for them?

Not just Merc....
Try
Audi
Jag
Toyota/Lexus

I can't understand why these manufacturers insist on using their own software.......
I can of course understand why they charge so much tho, because people are idiots!

 As PT Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute!"
Surely propriety software defeats the purpose of Bluetooth?
