what phone do I need?

I have an 02' with the phone cradle already in the arm rest but never got a phone for it, since the car is an old one which phone do I need to get it hooked up and working? is there a newer phone I can put in without having to change the cradle, or should I look for an old phone? but I have no idea what brand of phone. (nokia,LG etc.)
Thanks for your help!

If the car has a functional V60 integration, all you would need is a Bluetooth puck and any compatible phone.

I'd call AWS. They are very knowledgeable about this.

If you need the phone, let me know. I do believe I have pulled one out of my 2002 E430 and should be in my garage.

If it's the original V60, it's no longer usable. I don't think any carrier will activate a phone without E911 capability.

Dealers seem to have sales on this now and then. I got an email solicitation for one for $299 a while back, for instance.
