I know that my attention declines if I am having a conversation with a passenger when I am driving. So, for me the idea of talking to a disembodied voice is even worse.
Here's an interesting study to read on your mobile as you drive to work.

so its just somewhere to stick it?
cup holder
or if you want to be able to see the display (nav apps etc) then we have no holes mounts for the r56 & can supply a cradle (optional charging) for your phone

If it's just a holder with a charger then that's not what I'm looking for I'm afraid. Any pics of what's available.
As an aside don't you just love BMW Mini customer care once you've divied up your large amount of cash. Haven't been impressed so far.

If it's the multi function steering wheel then YES have got.
Not sure what you are wanting
Here is a link to mikeythemini's business New Mini Stuff
Yeh I've had a look at that site but without much further information I've really no idea exactly what will fit.
1) The car has full bluetooth & USB
2) The car has a multi function steering wheel
3) The car has the BMW Mini arm rest
4) The phone is a Samsung Galaxy Ace
I'd prefer the proper BMW Mini cradle that fits in the armrest but neither the BMW Mini site nor the dealers are of any use in telling me if BMW make such a cradle.
SWMBO tells me that there's NO WAY that the stereo is getting removed so any of mikeys stuff would have to fit without that removal.
Most of Mikeys stuff appears to supply Bluetooth which is already in the car.
Now our other car a Skoda is a delight in the phone department but the Mini is a nightmare by comparison.
Does anyone have a car with similar spec where you use your mobile (Sorry but not an iPhone) & how have you done it & with what result.
