Can anyone offer me some advice on a decent hands free kit to get as I have zero knowledge in this department and there are infinite options. Bluetooth seems to be the way to go, so as long as it has decent sound and I don't have to hold it to my mouth for people to hear me that'l be good :thumbup1: What do you recommend?

The previous owner has fitted one to my Z which runs through the Alpine headunit. Has a mic on the rear view mirror, I haven't had chance to use it yet!!!

 

I think it's a Parrot system, they seem to get good write ups and I have a mate who has always fitted them when he needs a hands free system.

Thanks for the reply Adam and you've just made me realise something, I need something that can be taken from vehicle to vehicle as I regularly drive three different ones. Any recommendations on those ear piece style ones that those sophisticated business style people use?

Oh right, maybe just a bluetooth headset which you pair to your mobile phone would do

 

Will work anywhere you have the phone then, think they are about £20 but someone else may be able to recommend a good product.

 

To be honest I could do with one myself for my work chariot so would like to hear some recommendations too!! :biggrin:

I have a parrot unit I use in my Z and my daily hack, Bluetooth with voice dial, it's good. Got it from Halfords paid about £70 for it

I used to use one of these in my previous vehicles - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jabra-CRUISER2-Bluetooth-Car-Speakerphone/dp/B00466O7GC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366785120&sr=8-1&keywords=jabra ........ always seemed to pair up and call clarity was good :-)

I've been using a platronics ear piece for about 5 yrs, it's a bit more expensive but it's lasted 5 yrs, and looks cool !! Lol

Topical with some light viewing from a recent episode of 5th gear...

 

I've had a Parott Bluetooth kit in my work car for the last 6 years, it's never missed a beat and automatically pairs when u jump in, so once fitted u sort of just forget about it till ur gone rings. It's hard wired to the radio iSO connectors though, so not easily transferred. I bought a second FM tuner type one that I have as a spare when it's off the road and I'm using a spare motor without hands free. Just plugs into cig lighter & tunes to an empty FM frequency on ur radio. It's not bad as a put-me-over grafter and was only about £15 from Maplin. For a more transferable bit of kit, as well as the earpieces (not a massive fan of these tbh) it's worth bearing in mind a Bluetooth sat nav. TomTom do them. I had an old TomTom 500 that I used as a hands free kit before the Parott, which is obviously just thrown in ur pocket when u swap cars etc. I bought a cheap eBay one last year for my campervan that does the same, but its about a 7 or 8" screen and takes SD cards for movies n stuff. That was about £65 by a company called Kogan in Australia. Battery life isn't brilliant but it comes with cig lighter lead and is really slim....

Nice one chaps, the 5th Gear review winner was the Plantronics M50 which is now discontinued but there are a few around still, heres the cheapest I found
