A docking and electrical interface for physically supporting and electrically interconnecting a personal communication device, such as a mobile cellular telephone, and a master electronic system, such as the electronic system of an automobile. Utilizing the interface allows an operator to selectively control the personal communication device using the master controls for the master electronic system, removing the need to access and manipulate the controls of the personal communication device.
