Re: Telephone for A6

[Robert Myers <rmyers@wvit.wvnet.edu>]

Colin,

You say that the Audi phone is a specially adapted Motorola unit sold 
*only* thru Audi and that the setup was designed for a European phone.  
This arrangement is guaranteed to yield maximum profit for both Motorola 
and AofA.

How about the possibility of getting a European phone to install?  Would 
it be compatible with Murican cell phone technology?  Any other likely 
problems?

If possible, some of our European members might be able to get a small 
business started supplying reasonably priced phones to their Murican 
friends.
