    I'm currently using a standard nokia 'wired' kit but this ties me to a very specific range of phones, so I want the flexibility of changing phones that a bluetooth kit will give me.

    Can anyone recommend a really good bluetooth car kit that will integrate with the cars radio for auto muting and use the stereo's speakers rather than a dedicated speaker ?

    I regularly do conference calls from the car and need a high quality kit.

    yes, I hear they are good alright but I'm looking for a car kit that will integrate into an existing factory fit head unit.

    Any such thing ?

    I know its been recommended already but the aldi kit I got yesterday really is top quality, speaker integrated into head unit , auto muting- un-muting (is it a word?!) , ipod/mp3 player connectivity, plays mp3 cd's and I had it fitted in 2 minutes, all for €130.

    My dads fited a nokia system in his car and the sound quality is terrible compared to my cheap and chearful aldi one.

    I'd recommend a Parrot CK3100.

    http://parrot.biz/usa/products/ck3100-lcd

    It has an LCD screen, supports most factory fitted and aftermarket headunits (best to check compatibility before you buy) and sound quality is very good indeed (V. important).

    I believe it will also relay Sat Nav directions if I can get my Sat Nav software working on my 6280...

    I got 1 of them online and fitted it myself - very easy if your stereo has ISO connectors.

    The Parrot kits are very good and worth the money.

    I have a Nokia CK-7W which seems to be the standard install for a lot of companies and I can't think of anything bad to say about it.

    You'll need a lead specific to your car to integrate into the stereo. I got one for about €40.

    Hope this helps. :)

    forgot to say thanks for the feedback lads. have the new car now, so will be looking into these options in the coming days.

    not being too technical, not havng much spare time, and not wanting to make a hash of my nice dash, I'll be getting the pro's to do the supply and install for me.
