telephone

[oldian666]

Hi , My 2005 v70 has a telephone and fixed handset fitted which are useless , is it possible to remove them , and is it easy , A cup holder would be more useful .
Thanks for any help Ian .

Can't answer that specifically but I will issue the standard warning notice..

to get at it you need to first dislodge the Aircon (CCM) module and if you unplug that with the battery still connected you will throw a SRS code that needs VIDA to clear it

if you have VIDA that's fine, if not it'll cost you at a dealership or indie

either leave it connected and just swivel it out the way which is what I do, or have the battery unplugged until it's reconnected

Your phone might not be that useless. @marekbm has developed a product so you can use the existing equipment but connect to it via bluetooth with your current phone. The thread is here:

I've got one and can't recommend it enough, it's a brilliant.

Although these units may be brilliant they are no longer available in the UK.

I've removed the 'phone on mine.
You'll need to get the software removed with VIDA - a VIDA account is needed to do this, take it to a specialist. Otherwise you'll get software errors. (not expensive, mine was £20 to remove s/w). You can't do this without a VIDA account.
Then remove handset from centre console & remove audio to remove 'phone buttons & replace with cup holder - there's a fair bit of dismantling to do this but it's not difficult.
