Which hands-free kit for VW Golf? - Jakester
I'd like to get a mobile phone hands-free kit for a Nokia 6610i in my 2001 VW Golf but I'm not sure which direction to go in.

Obviously DIY will be cheapest but as far as I can see from the kits they sell in high street mobile phone shops, it means a lot of wires trailing about in front of the dashboard. Apart from looking bad, I can see they could even be dangerous if you get caught up in them.

Presumably a professional install is neater, safer and better for re-sale value. But which way to go? From a (London-based) specialist installer I've been quoted £200 for Bluetooth and £175 for conventional (I assume microphone and earpiece) kit. I haven't even bothered getting a VW dealer quote as I assume it'll be very pricey.

The benefit of any experience or advice would be much appreciated.

proper kit available from nokia not that expensive go for the bluetooth as it improves the resale value if you leave it in the car, it works with any bluetooth phone not just a particular model like the nokia hard wire kits it's also a very good easy to use piece of kit .

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
