I have an '04 4.4i with DSP and Assist

I want bluetooth and voice recognition. I also want to keep Assist.

I would also like to keep my phone in the armrest (I've got a CPT 9000 in the car right now, so I've already got the armrest cradle and the microphone) and I would also like it to be connected to an antenna and a power source (so it can charge) while it's there.

I've searched the forum and it sounds like I can do at least SOME of this stuff, and maybe even all of it. However, there seem to be 3 basic "paths": the upgraded TCU path, the OEM BT retrofit path and the VR module path. I've managed to confused the heck out of myself trying to figure out which of these paths, or which combination, I need to go down to get where I want to be - or whether I need to go down another path entirely.

I can't believe I'm the first/only person to try to accomplish this, so there MUST be someone out there who's already done this mod or at least knows how. Whomever that person is... HEEELLLPPPP!!!

TIA
