this is delightfully retro, and i wonder if there's some way to integrate an OEM carphone with a bluetooth phone link type thing so you literally receive and place calls with this little phone
This is why I wouldnt buy a vintage luxury car past 1990 or so. This was cutting edge in (1995?) But useless and weird shortly after. Todays cars seem so with it but will be obsolete and useless within a span of less than 5 years. Long live the mercedes of the 50s to early 80s.
It's a GSM phone. It should work without a problem in the US on ATT and Tmobile. Most US phones used the old analog AMPS networks which went dark after 2008. Verizon and Sprint were the ones who had these networks. If you can find a car phone that uses a sim card (GSM) there's no reason you can't enjoy this.

***** ah, but does it integrate with your smatphone? that's what i was going for. i am aware they can use their own gsm sim card seperately
The phone is old I doubt you will be able to integrate it with your smartphone. that's like asking if a windows 95 computer upgrade to windows 10.
I have seen a vid of a windows 95 pc Being upgraded to windows 10 in like 5 hours of work .
He can call anyone he wants.
This is cool, I need mine to work. The display is off and looks broken so I will try another second hand one this week
I have a 2001 740i, but the phone had been cut out when I got it. Do you know where I could purchase one?
Ya i can call anyone i want
where did you find a sim card that fits?
Will this phone slip into a BMW 840/850 series?
I’ve got one I my E38 it’s so cool

it still works so why not use it.

AT&T shut down there 2G GSM back at the start of 2017. Will work on T-Mobile though.
I have the same phone in my BMW. How did you get it to work? Did you slide a SIM card in somewhere?
