2.2 suggests you have a facelift, telematics (factory fit) phone system loom is not likely to be installed. It would also be quite expensive as you would need a de-paired NCDC 2015, GID/CID and Telematics unit for the glovebox, with the loom. Looking at a fair amount of dosh for all that!
You'd be better off getting a bluetooth aftermarket kit :y
-
oh you would also need the GSM Ariel loom, have to strip the head lining off and mount the 'bee-sting' Ariel!
-
bugger so its a pain to do then.

Or a CCRT2007/8 with a CCRT display, and a bit of wiring...

No, that just a standard Estate ariel. The 'bee-sting' Ariel is found on salons, and is a very subby / short ariel for gsm

That would be more expensive than a 2013/5? Don't see many of them on ebay

I can smell something... ...oh yes, BS :P
CCRT is likely to be cheaper option... ...and a bit easier to fit.

am stil thinking i would like to go down the road of factory look. think i myt just go for it. :D
-
Another member on here, IIRC, fitted a Motorola kit, hard-wired, that could be made to look factory fairly easily if you mounted it properly.

What radio do you have at the moment?
I have a Nokia CK7W bluetooth adapter hidden behind the glovebox which connects to my phone and works perfectly through the factory headunit.

There is an ideal location for CK-7W, cable tied in a box section just above the kick panel...

That is where mine is, but without a cable tie & sitting on the kick panel ::)

Ah, its not in the small metal box section I was thinking of then.
I also used a bit of thick, padded double sided tape to stop any rattles.

just the standard single cd player. if there is one i can hide and make it looks factory that could be a good idear for me to go with. thanks guys

I didn't want any metal between the CK7W and the phone in my pocket (being worried that the bluetooth signal would suffer). With hindsight there wasn't any reason to worry, the bluetooth works even when my phone is 20 feet away outside the car. ::)

Get yourself a CK7W and the Autoleads harness (http://www.dndservices.co.uk/06-109b.html) and you will have all the components you need (assuming that your phone has bluetooth).
The two things I struggled with were getting the microphone wire through to where I wanted it (on the drivers side A pillar) and finding the telephone plug in the cars wiring loom (it is taped to the air duct behind the glove box).

Some prewired cars already have a mic fitted (generally, the later the car, the more chance)

If mic is needed, I tend to go up passenger A post, across to sunroof panel, and mount just drivers side of this panel.
