The radio is looking for a signal on the plug in interface to tell it to go to telephone mode... Now when it does that, it *ought* to say something like "telephone active" or whatever... I'd pull the radio (you can get the cheap removal tools at autozone, etc). I'd also check the connection to the cell phone (the plugin kit connector in the back), I'd make sure that it is fastened tightly. Harvey > >Cheers, > >Spyder > >
