Default Bluetooth Hands free

Guys,

Can anyone recommend an after market Bluetooth Hands free kit that will work in conjunction with the car stereo i.e. mute the speakers when receiving a call and caller is heard through the car speakers?

Been quoted absolutely crazy prices for the Parrot CK3000 evolution to be fitted to my v50.

TIA

Thanks Des.

I think I will have to bite the bullet and pay the extra £40ish for the extra loom required for the installation of the ck3000 evo.

The CK3300 includes a bluetooth GPS device!!
Why would anyone wannting phone hands free want the GPS?
Seems like extra money for something not necessarily required..?

Smile blue tooth hands free

i have just upgraded my stereo in my v70, as i wanted mp3 player and i purchased the new sony xplod, wicked bit of kit. hands free wireless mic,concealed behind pull off front facia. works fine blue tooth to mobile and you can down load 50 numbers from your phone book also u can play mp3 audio from your phone or bluetooth device.comes with remote control. ok you have to touch your stereo to make call but once u know where your fav numbers are two clicks and your making the call. total hands free rec calls music drops out ring tone on ur phone is heard then auto answer is activated, when call is over music comes back on. no background noise A1
cost me £310 that was with they adapter (glove box) to fill in large hole left by the volvo stereo when removed and the iso leads plus installation fee.the sony explod was £350 but had been reduced to £285. sold my volvo stereo for 80 notes so well pleased with result. only down side was no bass treble controls, you have predefined graffic settings, i use xplod setting. there is a custom graffic feature but could not get the bass from the radio like the volvo radio, perhaps i need bass driver but i am happy dont really want bass cabs in the boot etc.oh yeh ipod socket on front panel as well. also remember if ur chatting to mate outside ur car and in bluetooth range and and ur radio is on someone could be talking to themselves in your motor ( hopefully my mrs, she always says i might as well talk to myself)

heres a link for you if i get it right :

the blue tooth with gps is revolutionary if you use a smart phone as i do (n73) running tom tom navigator 6. It will combine the ability to have voice calls and the gps receiver which you connect to anyway as a stand alone device to your phone, i should be fitting one soon into my s40

I'm interested too, I have a xda2 with TT6 and a Sony Ericsson 850i. One well fitted T/GPS unit that mutes the speakers correctly would be the dog's watsits. I'm fitting it in a 2002 V70.

Pids wold be great pukka.
