Car kit for cellular telephone
Has anyone been able to find out which cell phones are going to be compatible with the integrated car kit that was shown in the 2002 Accessory Guide? If so, what about price? I'm referring to the kit that actually integrates causing the radio to mute, etc.

Re: Car kit for cellular telephone
In the 2002 Accessory guide there were 2 car kits. One appeared to be a holder for cell phone and speakerphone. This one is currently available at the dealerships for around $80. The other was described as a Cell Phone Adapter Kit for integration with the audio system of the car. I phoned Audi boutique at 877-742-2834 and was placed on a list to receive information on the kit when it becomes available. I wanted to know what cell phones were compatible, when available, and how much.

The "Audi Digital Phone" appears to be the same one that is in the M-B cars. It is the Motorola Timeport that replaced the StarTac. Or at lease that is how my cousin in the fatherland describes it. I beleive the same is true for the phone adapter. The Timeport is anywhere from $100- $400 depending on which model it is.

Got an email response from AoA
AoA said that the car kit that integrates with the audio system should be at the dealers during March. They said that the following information was subject to change: There will be 2 car kits. One will be for the Audi provided Motorola phone and the other would be compatible with the Nokia 51XX, 61XX, and 71XX cell phones. They did not provide any information on price.

Will the Motorola kit accept other Motorola phones?
Living in NY, I have to use a hands-free phone in my car. Getting a separate phone (and phone number) for the phone in my car seems absurd but I would like to just plug in my current Motorola StarTAC phone when I am driving. It sounds like that is what the Nokia kit will permit. Is that also true of the Motorola kit? Or will that kit require the purchase of an actual phone as well?

I was told that the Motorola kit only accepted the Audi phone.......
but, they stressed the need to check with the dealer after the arrival of the kits as there might be some changes.
