I am looking for exactly what is says on the tin.
If anyone has one cheap enough let me know, and I can then see about getting it fitted.
Does not matter if you have not got the phone, I am sure they will be cheap enough on eGay

Which phone first, as this dictates which phone kit you require.

[alunonhisown]

I really don't care, as long as the kit works, I am bound to get a phone on eBAY, am I not.

I have used in different cars in last few months:

tomtom 520, see:
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1256203694/0#0

Ok if mounted like this and near enough to you to pick your voice on microphone (old 910 with separate microphone much better)

Nokia CK7W- very good, needed competent fitter, no display, old hat now-cheap enough on ebay, but tomtom easier.

Latest Parrot kit, £250 fitted with colour display, remote control, separate mic, very good all round unit.

Alpine CDE103BT head unit with separate mic, included in £170 price, excellent quality, but dash in Omega not standard din.

Hope this helps

Be aware, some kits expect the echo cancellation to be in handset (Nokia CK-7W being one), some kits have it built in to kit (eg, most Parrots).

Personally, I wouldn't go down the tomtom route, as too much junk to set up for every journey.

But surely you want a kit to work with your existing mobile? Therefore your existing mobile will point you in the direction of which kit is best .

My exisiting phone is a Sony Ericsson P910i, and there is no way on god's earth I could find a HFK for that, I have tried, believe me, even asked SE via e-mail.
So if I get a Nokia kit and it has no phone then I am bound to get a phone for it on the Bay .

You may find the Parrot work well with that handset (assuming its Bluetooth).


In my experience, the CK-7W (which is what I have fitted to the MV6 and the Rover) work well with:

Most Nokias (not the cheapest ones though)
gayPhone 3GS
Latest generation HTC

Works poorly with (other party gets awful echo):
cheapest current Nokias
pre 3GS gayPhone
any HTC older than 2 years
older bluetooth SE

I find this works well, but I live in a rural area and I just leave it in.

Advantage is that it has a touchscreen keypad to dial from as the voice recognition systems are hit and miss.

Parrots are fab, though!

I have one in my omega for the old nokia 6310i that i plan to remove as the car has a built in phone in the radio. These phones can be picked up on eBay for around £20 to £30.

I think I have a Cark91 which you can have for postage, though may need to get a mic from egay

[mr ICE man]

got a bluetooth parrot if your interested can be used with any phone and is easy to fit!!pm me if your interested!

[webby23]

I was kindly given a CARK 91 from a very generous OOFer and spent £23 getting a Nokia 6310i off Ebay.....

New cover for the phone and jobs a good un....

Not the most up to date phone I know, but it is all I need when we are on a long journey.

Just drop my sim in it from my GayPhone

little tip for you - you don't need the bluetooth button to use the bluetooth in the Nokia control box so you can connect any phone to the nokia car kit
