CPT-8000 installation trouble

[hockeybimmer]

Can anyone provide guidance on this issue?:

I have been a bimmer driver for years, and have succesfully installed two CPT-7000's and two 8000's in a variety of 3's, 5's, and 7-series over the past years.

My wife drives a 2001 X5 3.0, and a friend drives a 2002 X5 3.0. I just moved up from an e38 to an e65 myself, and had the whole CPT-8000 system left over. I have the cradle, the microphone, the CPT-8000, the phone module, and the voice module. With good thoughts in mind, I endeavoured to install the kit in first my wife's, and second my friend's X5.

Both of these X5's have the proper plugs in the left rear compartment to plug in the phone and voice modules. Once installed, the MID shows "PHONE INSTALLED?" if you press the phone button (I hadn't yet installed the cradle and phone). Yet, after removing the consoles of both vehicles, I could not find the connections for the cradle and antennae connectors. I specifically have the X5 cradle with the long connecting wires (much longer than that of the 5 or 7 series cradle). As well, neither car seems to have a microphone wire.

Is it possible that both these vehicles have only half the necessary prewiring for the phone system? Or, are the connectors "hidden" somehow?

Please help!
