e38 + phone ?

[jackal]

my 2000 740 has a phoen cradle and a phone menu in the satnav lcd

i dont have a phone though but if i get one that fits can anyone tell me what functionality i will get ? Presumably the signal is boosted and it charges the phone to dial a number or answer a call do i have to actually pick up the handset ?

sorry for yet another question...just trying to get my head around everything

i think its a nokia 3110 according to my VIN number
if i get one from ebay do i have to make sure it has BMW software loaded at all ?

thanks
