Recommend me a bluetooth handsfree set

Looking for one of those ones that you plug into the lighter socket that has a speaker on it. I'd prefer one of those than having to wire one up to the radio (or is it easy to diy?)

Have a Parrot Minikit myself and very happy with it. Fully portable so you can move it betweens cars etc and has a very long charge life

This is a well regarded unit - check reviews - sun visor mounted and is stonking good value.

the problem I have with those clip on units is that they will need charging the second you need to use it....

I'd prefer the built in unit. They are not as expensive as you would think.

€220 and you can get a Parrot CK3100 supplied & fitted

This is a great kit. I would have gone with that if I had known about it when I was getting my Parrot ck3100 which is good but very basic.

20 days standby time/8 hours talk time is pretty good though. Unit could be charged in car overnight too, the same as a headset.

Ok it's small bit less convenient than a wired in solution, but it's transportable car to car, and the bones of €190 cheaper.

Some of the reviews say the 20 days standby is pants which i would beleive. Dunno about your car but mine turns off power to the lighter socket as soon as i plug it out.
Might give the cheap one a go an see, especially seeing as its only €25. There are more reviews for it than the Parrot mini on that site too and its half the price of it as well.
Cheers!

there must be a way to hard-wire it so it stays on

would the cc9060 not be crap with a built in mic, thus causing interior cabin noise an issue

which cause you to sound like your down a well while talking while driving

Fey!

I have this one (Bury CC9060) in my car, a Nokia CK-15W (with screen) in another, a Nokia CK-7W (no screen) in the G/Fs car, a Parrot CK3100 (with screen) in the work van, and a Motorola BT Car-kit (no screen) in my mothers car. A friend of mine had a Siemens kit with screen.

The phone I use is a Blackberry Curve, but we also use various Nokia and Samsung phones. Some phones tend to work better with some kits.

The Bury, which has a touch screen and voice command, is excellent. You can unclip the screen and hide it when you park, like a front-off radio. After that I'd go CK-15W, Parrot, CK-7W, Siemens, and Motorola (which I'd now avoid like the plague). Unfortunately the Siemens fell apart fairly quickly.

Sound and microphone quality on the Bury seems to be better than the others, too. The mic isn't bult in as mentioned above; I have it over the drivers door. It also seems to work without the screen clipped on.

They were all supplied and fitted by Jeremy in Auto Electrical Concepts at some point or another (except the Siemens!!!)

Hope this helps.
