Mikbox still in business?
Looked around here a bit, couldn't find an answer...anyone know if Mikbox is still in business? Seems like they have fallen out of favor compared to bluetooth options, but for my needs, it still seems to be the best bang for the buck for my 2000 W210 w/Startac.
The home page ( http://www.mikbox.com/ ) states "This page is temporarily unavailable. Please stay tuned.". However, the site is still active (including ordering) if using the direct links - available via http://www.mikbox.com/index.cgi
Dropped them a note via the Contact page, but no response as of yet.

MIK has been moving his residence and adapting to a recent expansion of his family; he will bring his web page back up soon, and still has inventory to sell. You can e-mail him at mik@mikbox.com.
He advises that the primary limitation on fitting a system in the U.S. is availability of the cradle for the phones that are 911/GPS compliant (cell service providers will only accept those phones). The cradles have not been manufactured since 2005, though they do become available on occasion. If you already have a cradle for the phone you intend to use, it would be helpful to the installation.
Canadian service providers are not requiring 911 compliance to activate a phone, so a wider variety of phones (and cradles) can be used.
