Now that Ontario has joined the rest of the world and made hands-free mandatory, anyone know how to hook up the non-functioning phone buttons in an 07 B? The sales rep said it would "cost thousands", which I cannot believe, but any help is appreciated. I checked the Audio threads but no luck so far.

I believe models until 09 B are pre-wired for bluetooth. My dealer said to install the phone capability it will cost abt $500 and you can use the voice commands to dial out. You can't use the dial pad with this install. Music will still fade out when you get a call or make a call.
I have an '06 with Command NAV, but was told that the phone buttons only work with a cradle mount. No bluetooth hook ups available. Can someone shed more light on this, as I'm interested in getting a hands free system, but don't really want a cradle mounted in the car. currently using a BT earpiece.
I investigated this for my '06. From what I can remember... there are two main parts required. The first is the phone cradle that goes in the narrow storage compartment between the front seats. This needs to be connected to the pre-wiring. I know that for my ’06, pre-wiring was standard. Do not assume it is for your model year. Second, is to get the Bluetooth puck that goes in the cradle. At the time, this would of cost me close to $1000 Canadian for all of the parts and the labour. I opted to use a $50 Bluetooth ear piece.
I suggest you contact wireless4mb (Home) at 800.367.6372 for some help. They are the one who helped me figure this out at the time.
We have used this system prior in our shogun sport and very good it was too.
We are having it fitted next week, price of £190.00 GB ....this includes
All parts including wiring harness for back of Audio 20, 2 Hours Labour, tax (VAT).....the sound quality is superb, mutes radio, stores all your contact numbers, voice control if required......
CK3100......we have used this in our last car for 3 years ....great reception and quality sound not like a lot of the cheap bluetooth systems......i would recomend this to any one.......
Thanks everyone - yeah, the buttons are tempting, but not $500-$1000 tempting. Canadian Tire has bluetooth devices on sale right now for $19-99. Makes way more sense.
other option is to get the bluetooth mirror which integrates to your audio system through one of the FM channels. it costs abt $100 CAD and it works pretty decent. I bought one for my 08 civic but ended up not using since i sold that and got my 09 B with inbuilt bluetooth
