Monaro phone kit

[mackie1]

I gather there is a bluetooth phone kit available for the Monaro. Is this available from dealers in the UK and if so what kind of cost would I be looking at to supply and fit?

Cheers,

Again, try JHP if you want the factory option kit. I'm rather tempted myself.

or even better get yourself one of the nice new double din Pioneer head units at around 1800ukp complete with sat nav, bluetooth, mp3, hard drive etc etc etc

Thats a lot of money for a stereo! Exhaust is only slighly more and then you dont need one...

I saw that in an earlier post, very nice but just a tad pricey!

[Well_Fans]

it'll come down - has dropped around 700 quid from the time I got my first quote on it - this time next year it'll be around the 1k mark I reckon.

That'd be more tempting. If you add up the cost of a phone kit, new head unit and standalone satnav you'd be approaching 1k anyway, much nicer to have it all integrated. One for the list I think

anyone tried the cheaper pioneer blue tooth head units?

i need to fit a hands free kit and the head units cr@p so thinking it may be worth while?

[Well_Fans]

should work but you'll need the single din adaptor kit available from the states for about 110 quid iirc. spoke to guy this week that did 2 monaro installs in Ireland during the summer. He used the convertor faceplate kit and fitted a single din with dvd player and pop out screen, replaced all the standard speakers, and wired in amp and sub in the sidewall of the boot.

Monaro's have a phone wiring plug behind the passenger side transmission tunnel panel. This routes audio through the stereo speakers.

thanks

Now I just have to finalise the sale. Unfortunately some utter c**t has driven into the car I was buying so the poor seller is having to sort that out first! Life can be a real bitch sometimes. The damage is cosmetic relatively minor but will still be expensive to put right properly. Bugger.

Have a ck7w kit as well. Works fine, have swapped it from car to car 4 times now!!!
