Hi,

You might be better off 'Contacting the Seller' for more information,
the description says that it was working before he disconnected it.

You need to find out if some type of MODULE, EXTERNAL SPEAKER
and MICROPHONE is also required.

Don't have this problem with mine, my mobile phone 'auto connects'
to the 'head unit' when I get into the car.

Good Luck

- Steve.

5 wire GSM phone, it'll plug into a red/black plug underneath the centre console

You'll also need as steve-sheffield says, the microphone for hands free talking, the GSM phone module and the d2b (fibre optic) network cable to connect the module to, as well finding the phone connector in the boot. It should be wrapped away with bubble wrap left hand side of the boot.

More hassle than its worth imo, ancient tech, why not just go for bluetooth upgrade, it's almost the same, except you'll need to upgrade the red/black plug to 8 wires and feed them through to the rear, bluetooth phone module, microphone, bluetooth antenna and d2b fibre optic cable.
