Was your car equipped with bluetooth from the factory? If so there should be the phone craddle fitted under your armrest. It has a blanking plate which clips out when you press the release button shown in front of the phone in the photo above. The individual adapter cradle for your mobile then fits into this main craddle and connects you to the car's pnone antenna in the shark fin and gives you in car charging as well.

Iceman, what is the advantage of having the pro phone over the bluetooth connection?

Tha advantage is, that BT was not available when I purchased mine, and there was no pre wiring...
So I took the phone pro instead of having no phone in there.
I wish I would have BT, since my cellphone has it and it would so much easier...
Actually the phone pro uses BT too, but you can't pair another phone with it.

If it helps, I'm happy to unplug my phone cradle and take photos. Can't do it until tomorrow night though, if it's still of use then.

I have a Nokia 6310i.

I received my v600 snap-in adaptor today. I hate to say it, but I think it's a snap-in adaptor for the factory phone eject box. There's no way this thing will snap in to the storage tray. It looks to me like we need to:

1. Install CPT9000 eject box and connect wiring.
2. Install snap-in adaptor for BT phone.

Then, it makes sense, and would look like the picture. The thing with the button and phone/talk pic on it appears to me to be the eject box for the built-in phone.

It would be great to see how the two parts go together and where the wires are. Pictures would really help.

Thanks!

There aren't wires on teh snap-in, there's a circuit board inside and a "socket" on the bottom. It looks to me like hte CPT9000 holder snaps out and this one snaps in. I'm now going to order the eject box and see if I can get in buisness.

Though, I have to say, $100 for the adaptor for the v600 plus $150 for the eject box, plus the phone, is getting pricey. I'm not sure it's merited for basically a charger port. As it is now, the phone's tucked away charging in the glove box.
