For what its worth, I got email from BMWNA saying that they were developing a conversion cable to allow my 10/99 build 323Ci to use the CPT8000. I plan to raise a hell of a stink if they don't come through with this. If they discontinue the CPT7000 they leave everyone who has a pre-2000 build without any phone choice. I for one would be willing to enter a class action suit over this.

7. Is it possible to retrofit this new Digital CPT8000 into older model year BMW vehicles?

The Digital CPT 8000 will be available for the 5 Series and 7 Series vehicles produced after January 2000; 3 Series vehicles produced after June 2000; and X5 vehicles produced after September 2000.

My 2000 540i was produced in 11/99, so I am screwed. I'm stuck with a stupid analog phone with rates that average about $1.50 per minute given my calling patterns. This really sucks. I wonder how long it will be before I get a note from Verizon telling me that they will no longer suport my analog phone.

BMW should really do something for those of us with "older" cars built just 13 months ago.
