UHI installed pictures
I had some requests for what the installed UHI kit looks like. Here are some pics from my car (click for big versions):
I'll take some better ones during the daytime.

I think you wrote something in my quote about WAP and BT, because I didn't write that.

What is UHI? And how do I get it...........
Looks awsome..........but a few questions (well OK more then a few!)
How did you get that phone to work? Is this an aftermarket mod? If yes, where and how much was it? Does it work with the intergrated comman functions and steering wheel controls? Is it more a speaker phone or only functions with a headset?
I have been looking for a MB in car phone and am about to get the Euro comman nav/dvd installed by Steve at the end of the month.
Please let me know. Thanks.

Right now, it is the preferred phone solution if you have a Euro COMAND becaues the phonebook functions with it. If you have a US COMAND, the phonebook may work or may not work depending on your software version. A software upgrade may solve this in the future.
It is a complete integrated phone and works as a handsfree system through the COMAND system with muting of the source, it also works with a privacy handset or headset.

Very few, if any (except the Nokia 6310i I think, and perhaps Motorola) have an external antenna connector. That means radiation. Also, when the phone is covered by the top of the centre console, it will significant reduce the strength of the signal.

Now, interestingly... the fixed installation phone (like you have) and the UHI both have antennas inside the car. So although it makes sense that the handset and headset connect via BT directly with the fixed installation phone, what exactly does it do with UHI? I am not sure. I have a BT headset so I will have to try it out. I am not sure if I should pair the headset with the UHI kit or with the phone... it would be so much easier with documentation.

From this picture, you can clearly see that there is no antenna connector in the cradle:
Here is what it looks lik on the old Nokia cradle:
On the fixed installation in my car, the antennas are located in the left rear side window. Here you will find antennas for the remote, radio and cellular. On the sedans, they are all located in the rear window. But since there is no antenna connectors on the UHI phones, they are of little use. My phone installation is not available in the US (Im sure you can install it
)

And then look at this one:

It's there. I had to remove the rubber plug from the back of a T616 and two T637s to plug them in.

I installed the phone installation you have in my car last night; unfortunately, it is only dual band (900/1800) and doesn't work here in the US.

There are 2 phones with external antenna plug. Nokia 6310i and Sony Ericcson t610. I have both models with both holders. The rest of the compatible phones havenīt external plug for antena, but the holder has a plate that make "inducction coil" with that plate so you can use your car antenna too.
As I know, BT is a part of the UHI system, as I told you I have a BT headset that works perfect, but the only one thing you can do is hang on and pick up. You canīt redial or mute with your BT headset.
One more thing, there are some phones that need to update software for perfect working on UHI holder, for example Nokia 6230...
