Built in from factory phone 1996E320

When I turn my key on the phone makes a sound like it is turning on. How do I prevent that from occuring? Also my rear electric antenna for the phone makes a noiselike it is extening and then maybe retracting. I remover the fuse from under the rear seat that says phone but the radio dial reads PHONE and will not work. How can I just stop the phone from trying to come on and the antenna to stop making noise?
Thanks,
Mark

I believe the simplest way to disable the phone is to disconnect the CTEL transmitter_receiver which is located behind the drivers side trunk space. Remove the cover and all will be clear.

If you want to fix the problem----that can only be done with factory scan tool DAS(HHT) Xentry.

Hello again Plutoe,
Any chance you might know how I can get the door that hides my ashtray to stay closed? (1996 E320)
Thanks,

Sounds like the ashtray spring is shot, if that is the case you need to visit the local junk yard and get a replacement.

To remove the ashtray---you first have to remove the center consol shifter cover----then remove the ashtray insert----then remove the three screws----then lift up and out----then disconnect conector---then go have a smoke and or a drink

If you don't want to putz with that------use a small band aid!!
