Sat Nav/Phone: Best Carkit/Bluetooth streamer/Pure Highway

[TimS996]

Badly need to get a phone kit and bluetooth fitted properly to replace the £5 dongle i got for the interim and has lasted months.

I have a 2007 C70 with an Aux In and power socket and it has the old phone system built in. I would have liked to use this but can’t work out a way of doing everything quickly.

I’m thinking of getting the Pure Highway 600, it’s only £70 from Amazon and seems the neatest solution for now. I don’t need DAB and might not put the aerial up but it seems to be the easy way to take calls, and connect to Spotify, without rewiring half the car.

Has anyone got a better unit or suggestion to link in with the old Volvo kit in any other way? I use Spotify a lot and need a decent dash-mounted phone system like this or the old Parrots.

Thanks for any ideas.

I can only recommend 'Grom' since I have one installed. Very good for Spotify. Works well with phone calls too. Although you need the phone to press 'answer'. Expensive though.

Does it simply act as a Bluetooth module then and allow the use of the controls or do I still need to use my handset to call?

Not familiar with Grom

Its answers via steering wheel button and ends calls . Not a lot else .But the sound quality is superior than a clients £117k range rover ! It does what its designed to do .Once people ask for a system to do everything i think it either has to cost a fortune or will go wrong due to the complexity etc.Ive had a Grom before .For phone calls etc .THis is superior to the GROM
