Motorola E815 Phone Cradle

330eye · 03-12-2006, 11:40 AM

I do a lot of driving and could use the charging feature on the phone cradle. Does anyone have a picture of the E815 cradle/caddy installation?
Much appreciated.

I had the cradle installed about two week ago for the E815. It is wonderful. I took the car on a 2000 trip traveling in remote areas of the US and the phone always had reception. Never had to charge the phone at night. I have verizon.

Also, note the warnings in the car and in the manuels concerning electronic devices. This actually drove me to the cradle more than anything.

Damn Hunt, you beat me to it w/ the pictures. I ordered mine from the dealer so I'm waiting for it to come in. By the way, how much are people paying for the cradle? Just wanted to know because the dealer charged me like 400 and it sounds a little steep for just the cradle but i had to have it.

I paid $400 for the cradle parts and install. There are two/three parts to the cradle. I really like it.

did you buy and install yourself or go straight to a dealer?

330eye · 03-25-2006, 01:56 PM

I woosed out and had the dealer do it. Felt it was beter to take the safe route with my new bimmer.

mind telling us how much the entire install was?

330eye · 03-25-2006, 10:01 PM

I was lucky since this was the dealers first install so I got the entire package for $300. I think they would normally charge $395.
There are three pieces; base plate, cradle and trim piece.
