After a small fortune and about another 20 hours sourcing parts, making three trips to the dealer....finding the right cable....soldering....I finally made my first cable to hook BLevinson's T616 phone to the factory antenna!

And now, what you have been waiting for:

It's going to hook into the factory connector that plugs into the V60 base that comes with the car:

And we are going to move his phone cradle from under the armrest to the right side of the console using this from ebay, present location followed by new location:

So he will have Bluetooth and a cradle which will charge the phone and use the factory cellular antenna when in the cradle, that mutes the radio and comes over the RH B pillar speaker.

If anybody is interested, I have just about completed everything I need (except to figure out how to run the antenna wires through the console) for a HCB-30 bluetooth phone option with the bluetooth phone of your choice.

I can supply you a kit and detailed procedure or do the install for you. About $150 for the kit, plus the HCB-30, which I have a few for $145.

Just email me if interested. And I've spent well over 40 hours to date on this thing!!! Darn, what did I get into?? ;-)
