I am looking for exactly what is says on the tin.
If anyone has one cheap enough let me know, and I can then see about getting it fitted.
Does not matter if you have not got the phone, I am sure they will be cheap enough on eGay
Cheers

Which phone first, as this dictates which phone kit you require.

I really don't care, as long as the kit works, I am bound to get a phone on eBAY, am I not.

I have used in different cars in last few months:

tomtom 520, see:
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1256203694/0#0

Ok if mounted like this and near enough to you to pick your voice on microphone (old 910 with separate microphone much better)

Nokia CK7W- very good, needed competent fitter, no display, old hat now-cheap enough on ebay, but tomtom easier.

Latest Parrot kit, £250 fitted with colour display, remote control, separate mic, very good all round unit.

Alpine CDE103BT head unit with separate mic, included in £170 price, excellent quality, but dash in Omega not standard din.

Hope this helps  :y

Be aware, some kits expect the echo cancellation to be in handset (Nokia CK-7W being one), some kits have it built in to kit (eg, most Parrots).

Personally, I wouldn't go down the tomtom route, as too much junk to set up for every journey.

But surely you want a kit to work with your existing mobile? Therefore your existing mobile will point you in the direction of which kit is best :y.

My exisiting phone is a Sony Ericsson P910i, and there is no way on god's earth I could find a HFK for that, I have tried, believe me, even asked SE via e-mail.
So if I get a Nokia kit and it has no phone then I am bound to get a phone for it on the Bay .

You may find the Parrot work well with that handset (assuming its Bluetooth).


In my experience, the CK-7W (which is what I have fitted to the MV6 and the Rover) work well with:

Most Nokias (not the cheapest ones though)
gayPhone 3GS
Latest generation HTC

Works poorly with (other party gets awful echo):
cheapest current Nokias
pre 3GS gayPhone
any HTC older than 2 years
older bluetooth SE

I find this works well, but I live in a rural area and I just leave it in.

Advantage is that it has a touchscreen keypad to dial from as the voice recognition systems are hit and miss.

Parrots are fab, though!

I have one in my omega for the old nokia 6310i that i plan to remove as the car has a built in phone in the radio. These phones can be picked up on eBay for around £20 to £30.

I think I have a Cark91 which you can have for postage, though may need to get a mic from egay

Connector was always a right PITA on those ;D

got a bluetooth parrot if your interested can be used with any phone and is easy to fit!!pm me if your interested!

I was kindly given a CARK 91 from a very generous OOFer and spent £23 getting a Nokia 6310i off Ebay.....

New cover for the phone and jobs a good un....

Not the most up to date phone I know, but it is all I need when we are on a long journey.

Just drop my sim in it from my GayPhone

:y

little tip for you - you don't need the bluetooth button to use the bluetooth in the Nokia control box so you can connect any phone to the nokia car kit

i have a mic...free

Still have a 6310 phone and full car kit ie with aux 'hand set', just had a new cover put on the phone.
Yes it is as 'old as the hills' but works ever time.
Bluetooth tends to 'drop out' with the company 'blackberry', never a problem with the Nokia, plus it charges the phone as well.
Ariel connects into the car loom.  :y

Have just looked in garage and I have a complete Nokia hands free kit for a Nokia 2110 (there was a 2110 on E Gay last night for a tenner). Kit has mike, speaker, aerial, holster, amp and all necessary wiring.
PM me if you want to make me an offer.

That would explain why the people ringing my Samsung Tocca used to hear themselves talking through my CK-7W. Got to the point that I stuck an old 6310 in the car just for car use. Got a Nokia N97 mini now and thats perfect.

I also have a Tomtom 520. Imho, waste of time on the bluetooth side of things. Doesn't matter that my phone trusts it and should connect automatically, it rarely does.
