Help, Need Nokia 6233 Cradle for E70 - Australia

[watrob]

Hi Fellow Forum Members,

Can someone help me out, I have a new X5 I pick up tomorrow and it comes with a Nokia 6233. The only trouble is there are no cradles available until the end of July, BMW have run out. You would think that every nokia phone BMW got they would make sure they had cradles for there new cars.

Is there someway I can buy a cradle from a dealer in the USA, they will not sell me one direct as they do not ship International, is there any other way I can purchase one, I can pay via Paypal or Visa etc, any ideas? do you know a dealer that may ship Internationally to Australia?

It works fine without the cradle. Pairs through bluetooth etc. It is just that it won't charge which is usually fine as the battery life is long enough if you charge from home.

I'm just waiting until my cradle comes in late. In fact I suspect I won't even use it much as it is hidden away under the armrest which is a bit inconvenient.

Excited ??? Btw my dealer says that there are 500 towbars on backorder with next delivery of 130 expected shortly !!! I am on the backorder list.. Car still not here so hopefully cradle, ipod cable and Towbar will be all here at the same time !!!

What model do you have? Our's didn't come with a phone.

Still waiting on a titanium grill ordered over a month ago. What's happening with BMW and spare parts.

I've been told by my dealer that the executive models will come with the Nokia 6233.

[Mr. Mercedes]

We have a 3.0D Sports Executive...no phone. Should I be asking the dealer about this? Any other aussies get/not get the phone?

[jamesboags]

I'm expecting the phone (and cradle)....

The phone is standard with the Exec. You should ask your dealer

Thats hard to believe when there is some 1300 back orders, they said stocks would not arrive until mid July
