Disclosed embodiments include a system and method for adapting a wireless
device, such as a Bluetooth-enabled mobile device or other Bluetooth-enabled device
to a hands-free car kit or similar system. The adapter module is physically configured
so that it can be inserted directly into the cradle in place of the phone. Once
inserted into the cradle, the adapter module makes electrical contact with the
connector in the cradle with a matching connector on one side of the adapter module.
The mated connectors provide power to the adapter module and bi-directional communications
between the adapter module and the hands-free car kit. The adapter module includes
circuitry for communicating with the Bluetooth-enabled mobile device and the hands-free
car kit in order to exchange communications signals between the Bluetooth-enabled
mobile device and the hands-free car kit.
