Cellphone sleeve for armrest..

I can't find any info on which phones are supported for this feature. You put the phone in the sleeve, insert into armrest and it charges and uses the antenna for signal strength. I have a blackberry pearl, and I want to know if I can use this. My MA really didn't know much about it when I got the car and the MiniUSA site has nothing.

I've been pretty disappointed by the available information on this as well. I did discover that the BMW adapters fit in the Mini though. Mini seems to have a very limited selection, but if you go here,

http://www.bmwusa.com/owners/bluetooth/phones

you can see that BMW has a bunch more information, and maybe more adapters?

Yep, there is NO information on this, and the sales reps know even LESS than nothing about it!!! PI_SSSEEESSS me off really. I'm about to drop 30k and they can't answer a simple question.

What I would like to know is if you could make your own by know the pinout of your phone and the car...????

Here is a complete list of all snap in adapters currently available from BMW

Don't hold your breath waiting for an adapter for Treo's or Blackberry's.....bluetooth snap in adapters seem to be right under the R56 alarm, on BMW's to do list.
