Thank you for your answer however that is a bit like me asking what paint would you recommend for the bedroom, and giving me an answer of try B&Q or Focus.

Just giving an indication of the vehicle to purchase is not a recomendation of a product.

They have two model types iirc - on a fixed jobbie, with a cradle and one that's like a cable with a dongle. We have the latter. It works ok, but you end up retuning serveral time if you're going a long way. TBH, I expect them all to be much of a muchness.

Far better is to pay for a cradle to plug into your stereo - most later models you can even control your ipod using the CD controls. Problem is, this is a pro job unless you want Halfords to rip your dashboard off.

I have a Parrot MKi9100. Bluetooths through the exisiting car speakers for phone calls but also gives you a cable to dock your iPhone/iPod giving you the ability to also play music whilst charging. A little wireless widget gives you volume and track control.

I got this installed by a pro, but I reckon Halfords will supply and fit it for about £250...

My car has a USB (and AUX) port in the centre console and automatically recognises the iPhone or iPod and you control it via the cars controls. Don't Harmonn Kardon do one which does all this, albeit quite expensive?

If you can plug together a Hi-Fi system you can put a new stereo in your car. Just make sure you get the right mounting adaptor and multiplex cable for your make and model and it's a 10 minute job.

Have a look here for a nice range of custom (to the car & phone) phone holders. Some have the charger built in.
