RS4 Integrated Phone Cradle
Hi -
Of what use is the integrated phone cradle?
I have a 2007 B7 RS4 Saloon. It's brilliant but has the integrated phone cradle plus adaptor for iPhone 4S. The RNSE itself has bluetooth and virtually any phone with bluetooth pairs with that without needing to be fitted to the integrated cradle. The RNSE takes on board the phone book etc. Everything seems to function perfectly well in or out of the cradle. My questions are -
1. Is the function of the integrated cradle simply a charging point or have I missed something?
2. If I have the cradle removed will the bluetooth functionality cease?
Thoughts?
Cheers.

Charging and boosted signal. Not necessary anymore though. If you remove it it’ll leave two huge holes. I bought a new console today, £120 odd from TPS.

Re: RS4 Integrated Phone Cradle
Is your phone cradle attached to the side of the centre console or in the armrest?

Side of centre console unfortunately. If it was in the armrest i could just leave it.

Do you have a rough idea of the cost? Mine are needing replacing
