yeah, yeah, yeah - I printed out all the bluetooth DIY instructions - my problem is the wires to the cradle run up thru both the swivel arms of the arm rest, thru the opening in the metal plate, then hardwired to the cradle - So there is very little play to access where the wires run into the cradle - tomorrow I'll try dismantling the center console, but how do wires down there get up to the cradle - and am I to just snip off the old cradle?

Also not listed is the replacement cradle that accepts the new snapin phone adapter for my V710 phone????

Or should I replace the whole arm rest/console???
