- Mobile phone (includes card reader, keypad handset and transceiver)
- Telephone aerial with aerial amplifier (booster)
- Electronic charging system with hands-free facility

In addition to operation using the handset it is also possible to use the telephone from the multifunction steering wheel and from the MID/on-board monitor. In this case, the telephone is connected via the eject box or interface with the I/K-bus and transfers telephone key operation via this data link to the MID, on-board monitor and multifunction steering wheel.

It also offers a hands-free function which enables the driver to use the telephone without having to hold the handset. This function additionally requires a microphone and special speaker. If installed, a DSP amplifier controls the speaker output.

If activated, the button beep tone is output via the speakers of the hands-free facility.

The radio is muted during a telephone conversation in order to improve voice audibility in the vehicle. This function is referred to as radio muting.

Telephone operation is only possible with the SIM card inserted (does not apply to AMPS network). The call number, under which the owner can be called, is stored on this card. No call number is allocated to the telephone itself. Other mobile telephones can also be used with the SIM card and corresponding call number.

Depending on the card provider(not applicable to AMPS network) various additional functions are possible which are also described in the operating instruction. If problems arise, contact the card operator.
