Lightbulb New Phone

Does anybody have any info on the new Motorola Phone that is comming out for the Mercedes? I checked autoclass and they do not have it yet. If it is available, do any of you want to group up and make a group buy?

Since I have the timeport right now, is the group buy to include a new cradle or will that be extra??

You will need the current Timeport phone and its cradle option- K2 or K2A- I dont think you get it with out having one of these options.

You can though, buy the phone and use it as a regular cell phone. It is one of the world's smallest and lightest phones. Although my current V8120 phone (cell not car phone) is actually shorter and lighter, it is still a bit wider and doesnt feel as solid.

You can add it if you dont have the phone option, you would just need the whole kit, which is what I am attempting to get a group buy on...

I have the analog phone. Would the "whole shebang" kit you are working on work to replace mine?

Unfortunately the Motorola V60c Phones will only work on 2001+ models. The Timeport only worled on 2001+ models and the Star Tac only worked on 2000+ models. I don't know what works on the 98 and 99 models.
