Factory Phone, the one with the SIM in the console
My D3 has the factory motorola kit, with the SIM card in the console and separate handset. I always use it hands free, so never really bothered with the handset. The handset only ever comes into play when showing people the car, its more of a gimmick as the driver cannot use it.
Move forward to today, I was cleaning the interior when I lift up the armrest and see that the handset has split into two pieces. it look like the clips holding it together have failed with age. Handset still works fine, except now its split apart and the cheap chinese battery I put in also needs replacing as its charge was not 100% after taking lifting out the handset. Battery has not expanded or anything, whats happened is weird, never seen anything like it. Now to superglue the poor thing back together, and hope it holds.

still trying to find the good use for mine... and ideally it would have been good that I had a Bluetooth so as to connect the phone tight away and use if for A2DP streaming
 ... I may be asking too much of it but phone only mode would do. If you are interested drop me a note as I may be able to decomm the stuff from my car and replace with BT... hence the parts will be up for grabs .

I actually don't mind having a different number in the car. I have an O2 PayG sim card, and I just call forward from my iPhone to the car when I am driving so no need for real BT. For music I use AMI with a 500GB HD plugged in so don't need A2DP either.
I've found a brand new one on eBay, but it dates from 2004 looking at the date on the battery but I am going for the superglue first and see what happens.
