As I understand our Max 2001 has TELEPHONE PRE WIRE. Anyone figure out how to connect cell phone and how it works.

 

first time I hear this

 

It is mentioned in the FSM, but I have never seen it done. I can send you the pages if you are interested.

 

IIRC (and I might be totally off here) but I think I read on here that if the cell is hooked up somehow using that, all that happens is the stereo will mute w/incoming calls. Again, I'm not even 20% sure of this, there was a thread here about it ages ago though.

 

just get a Bluetooth car adapter that hooks up to the fm modulator.
or get any bluetooth car kit that mutes audio on incoming calls.

Nokia and sony ericsson both make pretty good car kits.

Y bluetooth?

because bluetooth is compatible with any bluetooth enabled phone, so for instance:

the motorola V-60 car kit for mercedes sux a$$ because it only works with a motorola V-60 (who uses this junk nowadays anywayz?).

May i remind you that this mercedes kit costs u a GRAND.

On the other hand, bluetooth will always be available on newere model phones, so you never have to worry about reinstalling a brand new setup for whatever phone u will purchase in the future.

And the best part is, these Bluetooth car kits work pretty good and only costs around $175.

 

Yes I seen it in FSM to and it looks like it could be hooked up at connection "M16" which should be under on the right side under the dashboard.
