My Ride: 2004 e60 M5 Replica Titanium Silver Premium Package Premium Sound Package Adaptive Xenon's Apple iPhone cell interactive pared with iDrive Bluetooth setting 19 inch BMW OEM 166M rims, Michelin tires Sprint Booster - V2 Fidelity / BMW Extended Warranty 7 year / 100,000 miles

For us at the e60 who has the Motorola Razr, and having problems keeping it charged all day with loosing 2 or 3 bars on the battery indicator?

I notice when I have 4 bars when fully charge on the battery indicators. I charge it on at home using household current, (110), and from 8 Am to 11 am it might last till 11 without dropping one bar.

But if I charge it in my car for maybe and hr using the cigarette lighter, it will stay charged almost to 8am to 5pm without dropping 1 bar!

I will be glad when BMW NA gets with it and produces a cradle for the Motorola Razr, before this summer would be nice...

Eddie Presley

PS,
Has anyone else here notice this to be true about charging their Razr?

I placed the order too!

Just a question, where is the antenna connection?
I?ve read something about an inductive antenna.

Back on the phone there is a small rubber tap to be removed: antenna connector

Yes, but I can?t see that on snap-in.

In my siemens s55 snap-in there is a connector.

We hope the mobile coverage can be enhanced by car antenna.

Hi Eddie,
Part number for RAZR cradle: 84 21 0 415 023. Order it from Crevier BMW(parts@crevierbmw.com). It will take a few weeks to arrive (2 -3 weeks). I don't think Hank Aaron can order it. One of the advantages of Crevier is that it has a large wholesale parts department.

Thanks Joe for your quick reply!

About how much does the cradle for the Razr cost you?, Did you install yourself, or did a BMW dealer install it. If so, if you don't mind telling how much did they charge you for the install?

Your GA friend,

Eddie Presley

I don't have it. I'm just relaying information I gleened from another thread. I'm betting it will cost between $100 - $200. I think I've seen in the DIY forum that someone installed the cradle for another phone. Email Crevier. The contact person is Vaheh. He's a cool guy. He can tell you the exact price and that it will be coming from Germany which would account for the time. Good luck!
