I didn't get one with my car. Is it missing, or is it a seperate purchase. I'm referring to the cradle that docks into the center armrest for Bluetooth connectivity. Thanks.

Default Think it is a seperate purchase

I think you have to buy one to fit your phone. I know they don't have one for the Razr

Does that mean I can link my phone through the car's media interface without the cradle?

If your phone has Bluetooth you might be able to.. not all phones/versions of BT are supported.

Default Any place to get info on what is/isn't supported?......

I have a fairly basic phone from verizon, but I think I'm due for an upgrade.

Default Oppps - Version sukcs on this - you will need a mod . .

There is a link at Audi on what phones will work. Might try a search here.

And then go to Howard's Forum for how to fix your phone to work completely with your Audi.

If you have problems - let me know - and I can do some searching for you. I have Cingular/ATT and not a issue for me so I have not kept the info handy. You can probably do a search here on the B6/B7 forums to find a lot of this info

Default True, but a cradle would be handy for charging, the external antenna, and the security.

When I checked into it they were about $250 for my moto E815, but I doubt if they have one for mynew Blackberry 8130e.
