Does it require some sort of adapter, new wire or new wire and other parts ? As you can see from my first post on this subject, it took me quite a while to get to this point.
Thanks in advance for the help. |
The V60s cradle should have had adapters for the connectors. The newer cradle uses FAKRA connectors (a type of industry standard). The older cradles do not. However, as you correctly pointed out, the V60s phone will not fit into the older V60 series cradle.
The newer V60s cradle, if supplied by a dealer, should have had those adapters included - as Big Mel, another forum contributor, informed us when he did a similar upgrade. His cradle had part number BQ 682 0925, and it had the adapters for older cars supplied. That's a different part number than you purchased - perhaps your dealer will exchange it.
