I have a 96 C220 that is prewired for the OEM integrated phone. I am in the process of installing a motorola S6965b car kit for my startac. Now, i found the connectors in the lower part of the center console for switched power, and antenna up and the RJ-45 plug for the handset.
I have the AM/FM Cellular hirshmann power antenna, with the black top section. Now i am wondering, where is the coaxial connector for signal from the antenna to the phone? Also, where can I find the wiring for the 2nd rear speaker on the drivers side of the rear deck, so I can connect to that.
Thank you very much for your time and help.

Best wishes and take care,

Personally I do not think that the car is pre-wired with a coaxial wire for the cell phone, but I am not sure on an US model. The power Hirschmann antenna for radio and cell phone is the best there is; doe the connector that you have found have an additional remote wire to control the antenna? (to get the antenna up for the phone while the radio is off)

greetingz,

Yes it does have the additional wire, but from what i was told, the antenna signal comes through the RJ-45 connector that attaches to the phone in the center console.
From my research, I found an adapter kit to integrate to the OEM phone. It can be located here: under cellular kit.

However after calling the company, They advised me that the kit is no longer in production. Basically demand was not great enough to sustain production, quite a shame actually because it would make for a really nice integration.

My phone is installed. I made my own custom mounting bracket that puts the cradle just to the left of the head unit. Notched out a corner of the cassete holder to run the wire behind the dash, and went with an antenna specialists on the glass cellular antenna. So far no signal problems whatsoever. I will post pictures of the completed install as soon as we get a decent day and there is some sun.

Next step - speaker upgrade, The OEM speakers are terrible, but they will do until I decide exactly what I want. I am thinking a component set in the front and 6.5 coaxials in the rear, and possibly a small sub. We'll see.
Thank you for all your help
