I have a 97 E320, and I am going to try to retrofit my cell phone with the hands free car kit. I have read other people's intructions on how to hook this up so that the car's radio will mute when I have an incoming call, etc. (I can't wait for the mikbox, it's taking too long to get made)

I have a few questions before I begin to try to retrofit my phone:
1. Does the factory phone have it's own speaker (or do you hear the person you are talking to through the stereo speakers), and if it has it's own speaker .... where is it located?
2. What color is the factory phone's mic wire, and which side does the wire run down ... the driver's side window seam or the passenger's side window seam?
3. Since my 97 has the old analog phone set up, would I need to get an external digital antenna for my digital cell phone or can I somehow use the factory phone's antenna .... which is located where?

I know it's a lot of questions, but if anyone has retrofitted their own non-mb cell phone into an E class, please any help would be appreciated. Or if you know of a better way (i.e. mikbox)?

Thanks,
MbMiller
