The whole of the Purgeot's dashboard seems pretty packed with electrnoic whatsittry!

I want a mobile phone hands free kit but don't know where to put the phone holder .. anyone got any ideas? there just doesnt seem to be any space anywhere unless its right over the passenger's side of the car.

Hi!

I just got one of those plug-in--the-cig-lighter things....tried fixing fone to dash but it wouldnt stay so mine just sits in the bit behind the ashtray...microphone attaches just behind the steering wheel - seems to work well.

I didnt really want to mess about with the dash...

Are bluetooth headsets legal?

For use in the car I mean! :rolleyes:

One of the company cars at the place I work had a hands free kit fitted, but instead of drilling holes all over the dash they made a bracket which went down the side of the radio and was secured from behind so no screws or wires showing. Don't know if this is possible with the pug but worth a look.

I have also found this to be a problem. The only place I can see to put a car kit makes the handset obscure part of the stereo.

Surely someone has done this and can advise?

I have seen a few different variations on various 206s (not just cc). 1- Favourite seem to be on the passenger side screw to plastic panel beside the ashtray. 2- Behind the center coins pocket (behind the park brake). For non smoker in the ashtray remove the lid. 3- Driver side door pocket run wire through the rubber hose behind door pannel out through the door pocket. (stay away from passenger air bags, dont want doctor to surgically remove car kit after an accident

). I considered all these and op for a Bluetooth car kit... i just dont want to put screws into the any pannels.

My phone's got auto answer (if I remember to switch it on) and speakerphone (ditto) so I got one of those mobile phone holders from Halfords which has a clamping suction pad, then a stiff bendy arm, and then the holder.
I can still attach my hands free headset to the phone if I feel the need.
I can attach the suction pad to the windscreen wherever I like, and even take it out and put it in the other car when required.
Looks neat and only a tenner.

I am reliably informed by a Ferrari-owning colleague that the Halfords Â£99 in-car kit came out the top of a Which test, and it just sticks on with some sticky stuff rather than drilling. Mutes the stereo and uses the stereo's loudspeakers too.

Was thinking of getting one for the CC, when I figure out the siting problem.

Now Halfords told me that they didnt fit to CCs....too difficult apparently as we have no roof!!! Told the man that I do sometimes....

The Halfords thing said it fits 206s so I assumed CCs. What's the roof got to do with it -- is it about siting the external antenna? I'm not bothered about having an external antenna, just want the phone clamped and integrated.

Hubby was going to buy me a halfords car kit for chrimbo, so did a bit of research, it cant be fitted to the cc, think its something to do with the roof!
