Hi all.
Does anyone know how much it is to get the in car hands free set up. Got the button on my Cooper but its not activated so can't use it. I have a handsfree kit from the old car but I hear its a sod to get the dash out to fit it. Need help!

it a 57 plate Cooper. Not sure about the model of the stereo though. Single cd slot with the aux input. Has the wee phone button to the right of the buttin console.

I have one of the sony erricson hands free kits. Is a fantastic one but not sure if I want the hassle of me and a mate ripping the dash to bits to instal it as it needs to be hooked into the stereo.

Ahh
To use the phone button on the speedo & see phonebook in the speedo you need the gateway 500 ipod/usb kit with the bluetooth add on
£500
I can supply a lead to fit your existing kit into the car without cutting any wires & provide a colour instruction book showing step ny step how to take the dash apart
