OK, I lied when I said the first improvement to my new 91 200 would be

the suspension. The car came with the Cel phone installed by Audi. Now,

since the car is 7 years old, that means the phone is too. Although cars

haven't changed all that much in the last seven years ( lets not get too

picky on this one), Cel phones have improved by leaps and bounds. Sooo,

getting to the point, I think I want to upgrade the phone. Has anyone

had any experience with upgrading the factory phone from the early 90's?

I would like to keep the phone in the same place (the armrest), but

would like to maybe get a PCS phone, that is removable. Is it worth

trying , or should I just stick with the "coffee can and string system"

that is in there now.

Matt:  If you have the voice activated phone, it's actually a very good
Motorola unit.  I particularly like the hands and eyes free features, and get
very good range and clarity with mine.  Unless you go to a digital unit or
need a portable, I wouldn't bother switching it out.  Ask your local installer
about it; mine said it's a great unit.

If you do want to integrate a portable into the car, check out Ralph
Poplawsky's (ralphp@cellport.com) company's (www.cellport.com)'s universal
hands free car kit for wireless phones.  He's also got a '91 200q and has set
up the system to work with the stock wiring, etc. (although I haven't
seen/tried the unit).
