Phone cradle for tele pre-wiring

chris_m · 06-27-2006

I've got the telephone pre-wiring system with audio 20, but no cradle. I want to eventually get rid of Audio 20, but for now it would be nice to actual be able to use my phone in the car. At the moment i just connect using a standard bluetooth headset, but i hate driving around with it in my ear.

Questions:
Where's the cheapest place to source a cradle for a Nokia 6280?
Is it difficult to install (it goes in the arm rest compartment i gather)?
Where's the microphone? Is it already installed somewhere in the car?
Can i only make/receive calls or can i use it to read/send messages? Any other features like voice dialling? (Please bear in mind i have audio 20, not command).

Thanks

purchase from good old ebay.

i assume you get microphone etc in the pre wiring cost.

i dont think you can read messages without comand

yes the cradle goes in the armrest

no voice dialling is available in the SLK

Hi Chris when you lift the arm rest there should be a mount for the cradle, if it is allready pre wired from the factory, your new cradle just fits into there. The mic is in fitted in the interior light above the mirror. If it is not pre wired for your phone then it's a mega task to fit after wards, new centre console etc. I priced it up and it's a fotune just for the consol and wiring harness.
