new gadgets going in.

On Monday I'm getting a Nav-TV IPOD Audio kit installed (http://www.nav.tv/show_products.asp?product_id=199 )

it's for MOST-bus cars (post Sep 02 cars iirc). Give's *full* functionality of the ipod from any PCM2 equipped car.

I'm also getting a Parrott CK3000 Bluetooth Kit fitted (http://www.parrot.biz/uk/products/ck3000evolution )

I didn't want an extra screen in the car as I didn't want a neon sign saying "pikeys-this-way" fitted (that's no slur for anyone who has an extra screen for anything, it's just the South East, yes, even in sunny Surrey you never know where you might end up parking. I think this is a bit more discreet. Whilst this doesnt "officially" integrate into the MOST system (apparently no mute function), the fitter reckons he has a way to sort that to provide the mute function regardless (guess he's done a few...).

Just a heads up in case anyone is thinking about getting anything similar and would like to know anything. The guy fitting it is mobile and is based in Surrey. He's already fitted my "front parking sensor" and road angel, so I know his work is good.

cheers

UKWILL - if it's of any interest, I fitted a Parrot CK3100 to my 2003 Carrera, with Bose. Although I had to fit a seperate speaker, the parrot has a seperate 'mute' lead for units not running through the standard DIN connectors. I was very suprised, but it worked perfectly, with either 'MUTE', or 'PHONE'(can't remember - sold the car 4 months ago) displayed on the head unit.
Good luck on the installation - hope it goes well.

Thanks for the info, glad to hear you liked it. Interesting about the additional speaker thing - I think I'm going to go with just the speakers that are already in the car, but I'll know more on Monday!
