Does any current cell phone work with the '01 A6 phone system?

The Audi (Motorola) phone was an analog phone system. The analog network was turned off in...
Feb '08, so that great voice activated, 10X the power of handheld cell phone is now obsolete.

Bluetooth. When I get in my car my cellphone ...
... connects automatically to the adapter. When I get (or make) a call the radio mutes and the caller voice plays over the built-in cellphone speaker in the car, and I talk thru the built-in mike in the roof.
The only difficult part was tracing a "mute" signal on the adapter circuit board, and then wiring a simple (one transistor) inverter circuit to drive the radio mute line. Depending on your choice of Bluetooth adapter, though, that may already be present.
Oh... and here is the device I originally got, if you're really interested:<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Parrot-DriveBlue-Drive-Blue-Bluetooth-Handsfree-Car-Kit_W0QQitemZ120353735228QQihZ002QQ"><ebay-no affiliation></a></li></ul>

Not difficult - but a bit time-consuming and fiddly...
I just used a piece of RadioShack perfboard (see the photos) for the interconnects between the RJ45 cable and the fine single-core wires to the switches etc on the PCB of the BT module. I also used it to hardwire/mount the simple one-transistor voltage inverter (the mute signal was +ve on the PCB, but the radio/headunit requires a grounded signal to mute IIRC).
I'll email you some other photos but It was long ago and I don't have much else.
