Here are the part numbers I have for the adapter and eject box:

84 21 0 307 726
84 21 6 946 075

I remeber a post here a while ago, but I can't find it.
I was so excited I got all this done in ~ 1 hour and now it doesn't work...

The following thread may help you out. Unfortunately I'm not sure if this was ever resolved...

Too lazy to look for the post, but as I recall there is a loose wire in the trunk somewhere that needs to be connected. Sorry I cannot be more helpful but I thought atleast the right direction.

Edit: Here is the thread

I think the wire in the trunk is for the antenna. The link Hormazd posted is a good one though because it illustrates a solution to a charging problem as well...

I had connected the trunk wire. Driving to work this morning, I am not sure if the shark fin antenna works either...the reception is no better.

I wonder if this is an issue with the V551 itself. I have a desktop charger stand for mine and find I have to rock it a little to get it to make contact. Fortunately, the stand has LEDs that allow me to see if I've made a solid connection.

Remove and insert v551 in car 2/3 times a day. Has never not connected or charged properly. Easier to connect phone in cradle than to the car charging adapter.

Have u checked the original parts (snap in adapter and interface [eject box])? Reports of these coming bad upon receipt.

I wiggled forever today, simply doesn't charge.
How do I check the orginal parts? Exchange them?
I assume the adapter 84 21 0 307 726 is the correct one for my V551. Can anybody confirm this? The dealer had no clue whatsoever...
