Car Phone E38

Hi all

Since my dear old dad saw my E38, he's been searching for a way I can do something about the in car phone. My phone is missing, just the cables.

I'm not too fussed about having the phone back, probably wouldn't work anyway, but what do people do with this now redundant area? Is there a different centre console cushion I can buy? Or a new phone to make it actually work?

Thanks

Paul

    MY phone's are both not powering on and I have noticed an RS-232-like cable hanging out in the boot near the CD changer which I think is responsible. Personally, I think they look cool and I just leave them! lol

    If you can get a phone to feel the gap, thats what I would do. Working or not working, still looks teh business mate :)

    Worth replacing with another fone, just check the boot for the module coz they're the first to be ripped out to sell on for big bucks ;)

    I had a look in the boot and couldn't see anything.

    It would've been very near the cd changer !
