I recall reading a prior post regarding connecting up the bluetooth antenna in the trunk after installing a phone cradle in the console. I have searched high and low and can?t find it. Can anyone post the link for me? Many TIA.

I think the telemetrics need to be updated to see the new device.

Found the connection and they are connected. I guess I just expected better reception with the cradle.

I have two; one for my Razr V3c and one for my wives E815. I don't notice a change with either.

I'm not very familiar with these cradles/snap-in adaptors but I assume there's an antenna connector that has to be made inside the console somewhere, right? You did hook up that one, right?

If that's not the problem, I'm not sure what's going on -- others have noticed a difference with the V3 cradle so if you're seeing poor signal quality, either something's wrong with your installation or your cell reception just happens to suck where you are...

Thanks Rudy. The BMW dealer installed it so I'll take it up with them.
