16.08.2003: A phone plug and a switch
Your next stop is Radio Shack. If your phone has a 2.5 mm jack, the plug is $3.99 (part #274-298). Typically, the tip of the connector is the microphone, the middle contact is the output, and the big ring is the ground. If don't want to bother soldering, or if your phone has a proprietary connector, just get a cheap earpiece or a hands-free set and cut the wires off. Also, if your phone does not support muting the radio, a push-button switch will cost you $4.79 (part #275-1565).

This is the description of an easy do-it-yourself mobile phone hook-up for a Saab 9-5. The goal of this project was to make it simple, and provide the compatibility with multiple phones. The installation is extremely easy, the whole thing was prepared in a single evening and installed the next morning.
