I got a Nokia kit fitted in mine, down by the gear stick:

Was going to attempt it myself but didn't fancy the routing of the mic up to a useable place - it's next to the interior light

^^my dads got that kit...its pretty good aint it.

Its easy to route wires upto by the interior light, found out how to do it when installing my sat nav in my visor.

Nokia kit works brill. It did play my MP3 ringtones through the HU when I had Nokia phone. Now I got a SE it just rings. Getting Nokia next month though. Wish Bluetooth would allow more than one phone to connect at a time - obviously only being able to take one call at a time.

I have one of them parrot kits off ebay, fully voice activated - with the radio on about volume 9/10 you can say 'telephone' and it'll mute the radio and beep, then say 'home' (or whatever) and it'll dial, when you're done say 'hangup' and it'll cut off. V.v.cool!

I was so impressed that I bought 3, 1 for me, 1 for the missus and 1 for a mate. After seeing it I've just sorted one for my brother and another mate!

Plus it wires straight into the car speakers as standard, unlike the Nokia (I sold for £50 and bought a parrot for the same money) which needs a special cable to make it work from the car speakers.

Ok - what a big rant, you'd think i'm a parrot salesman or something!! (which I'm not by the way).

In summary...buy one, you'll be pleased you did!

I need to move the microphone on my Parrot kit - it's echoing, rumbling and people can't understand a word I'm saying at the moment - used to be fine!

Where does everyone put theirs?
Mine's on the A-Pillar at the moment as it did work there perfectly.. but now it seems it's gone wrong - they recommend near the rear view mirror?

There was 2 places near me one want £200 and another wanted £235 and renault want £230 so i got renault to fit it. it is great Real easy to use typical fella not bothering with the instructions and i soon worked it out..:rasp:

I installed the exact same kit as the one on eb-bay, took about 30 mins, v.easy. Just plugs into back of stereo, bluetooth unit put in glove box.

 

[Brock]

Where did you put the mic??? Did you remove the side panel or did you pass the wire through the overhead light ???

Could you suggest where the best place to put the mic is and how toii remove the panels without destroying the dashboard/console??

Thanks

Hi Alan my mic is connected on top of the display more visible in the second picture.

 

[Brock]

I see. From where did you pass the mic wire? did you have to remove any panels?

Thanks
