I'm not quite "captain hardware", but I believe the whole thing has to do something with how the original "Telephone" functionality was/is supposed to work. My guess is that the built-in mic goes through some "box" (preamp?) whenever the "Telephone" functionality is enabled - witchcraft happens - and everything works fine with mic-in signal being high enough for a normal sound quality on the other end. I don't believe that SAAB engineers in all their OCD-ishness would have designed such a POS. Unless this was the part that GM guys took care of... :)

Anyway, long story short - I believe it should work fine. Just have to figure out what the "original" mic connection goes through and how it works. Maybe we need to find some old wiring harness for some old "SAAB supported" phone (Nokia, Motorola) on eBay and use that for reverse engineering...
