Dear E60 Forum members:

I have had some problems finding a cell product for my 2004 BMW 530i, but Verizon finally said the new MOTOROLA RAZR V3c with Bluetooth should work on my 2004 530i!

I checked with Hank Aaron BMW in Union City GA, and the parts man said yes the Motorola RAZR V3c will work just fine on your 2004 530i, but you will not be able to charge your phone lays in the cradle box.

Now I bit the bullet, and spent over $300.00 for the blue tooth Motorola RAZR V3c, iDrive component, along with a small 2 inch black cover piece that cost me $150.00 for a small black cover, (which will not be seen bye the human eye unless your working inside my console, and there is no technology involved in it, like the Blue tooth iDrive component, maybe just a .50 cent to a dollar for a 2 inch small piece black flat plastic piece that will not be seen!)

QUESTION: 1) I think that small 2 inch black piece of plastic, is really a little much, don't you for: $150.00, and do I really need this piece of plastic for my cell phone?

QUESTION: 2) And what can I do to get my new MOTOROLA RAZR V3c to keep charging in my Bimmer in the console where it sits, without an un-sightly charger wires running from my cigarette lighter to my cell phone where is lays in console!

Thanks in advance for any help and advice on this matter! Email me at Presley348@aol.com with your answer.

Sincerely,

R. Eddie Presley

I must be missing something here and perhaps someone has the answer.

My CPT9000 (Motorola V60) cradle charges the phone. My V557 Bluetooth phone uses the exact same chargers as the V60. So if I disable all the connections in the cradle except the charging connections, why won't the cradle charge the V557?

Does anyone know for sure why I can't modify the CPT9000 cradle to fit the V557 and use just the external antenna connection and charging function? Then activate Bluetooth and re-program. I know I'm missing something here but if the Motorola in-car chargers and plug-in chargers are the same.....
