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.

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.

Could you supply the part number for the v600 snap-in adaptor please ?

I have to agree at this point on the high cost, relative to function.

The sound quality on speaker is bad, from what everyone I call says - lots of background noise.

So, for $175 for the eject box and another $100 for the adaptor for my phone, I get a $275 charger port. Sure, it will use the car's antenna, but my reception is fine.

Plus, the iDrive dialing system won't let me use pauses and waits - I have to iDrive scroll around the keypad and dial in the numbers, which means I'm back to looking at the display.

Plus, I have to re-record all of my voice names into iDrive.

I think I'd be better off spending that money on a better phone and a nice Bluetooth headset.

sorry, that was me ^^

I hate to sound negative - I've been REALLY excited about the whole BT thing. It's just getting to where I think it just isn't ready for prime time.

I beg to differ. Pharding, Gdavis and I have the set up and have no problems with the sound quality. If the volume is adjusted correctly, and you only have to do it once, the sound is excellent. My dad is 70 and hard of hearing and even he hasn't complained when speaking to me. The one thing we have in common is our choice of phone, the V3. This is a completely unlocked BT phone so that may have something to do with our success, but the system is very much ready for prime time.

Hormazd - I took back the v551 and traded up to the Razr. Are you adjusting the call volume on the phone and in the car, or just in the car. If both, what's the volume setting on the phone set to?

By keeping the volume low, the echo is gone, but my wife still says I sound crappy - like I'm in a wind tunnel. I'm not sure it's that bad - I'm guessing it sounds like a speaker phone in a car but would, of course, like it set up a well as possible.
