I fitted the nokia bluetooth CKW to mine, its great, dont need to even take phone out of your pocket. Have since taken it out of my 33 and put it into my 32. Its being used with a sony ericsson now.

You want Nokia - you have Nokia.

On removal a few little screw holes on the side will be damned difficult to spot.

thanks heaps mark that was my thaught but looking at the coin tray if it could be fitted inside that slot it would bring the fone further away from your legs but it dont look deep enough and as i dont have my car yet its hard to visualise

Mike, I went BlueTooth, I bought a speaker the other day and it just clips onto the sun visor. If you've got a BlueTooth phone, just leave it in your pocket like kjb_r33 said.

There are plenty around (BlueTooth and regular) that plug directly into the ciggie lighter socket (such as the Nokia one), too, and have an in-built speaker. Then it's just a matter of finding a spot for the phone, maybe take the Hazard button and surround out and hook something behind it that won't damage the dash too much...

Mine has (quoted) 20hrs talk time and 800hrs standby on its inbuilt battery, so I'll just leave it attached until the red LED starts flashing asking for a recharge.

This is the one I've got:

me personally i dont like the car kit. waste of money. First of all the kit itself its not cheap (3-500bucks??) +installation. How long are you going to keep the phone for 2yrs? then wat? get a new phone and it doesnt necessary fit your old kit!! Then wat? you get a new one. If you are not going to put an ugly ariel for the extra gain on signal strength dont bother in getting the car ket.

Just like everyone else says get a bluetooth spearker phone or a bluet tooh ear peice. Speaker phone are dangerous especially when your GF or wife is in the car with you and one of your buddy calls you and talk about some great chick that you met last night in the pub!!! Then you are toasted!! Get a earpeice. Be sure to get in car charger for it as well for both your mobile phone and your bluetooth .

I hope this helps i dont mean to kick anybody's butt. but just helping

if you go into any strathfield store, and ask for no-holes brackets to suit a nokia car kit, they'll help you out. hard to explain, but they just slot into the gaps between your centre facia and the vinyl around it. no pics, but i had a nokia CK-7W, installed by myself, with no holes, very solidly mounted with a No Holes Bracket.

A better option wouldve been the supertooth 2 that nick has, but bit late.

Velcro strips? Double sided tape? I can think of a few ways to mount it without using those and not leave any visible holes. However it requires custom brackets and drilling holes in places that aren't actually visible underneath the console.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      *that* is a question for chatgpt (or someone that understands maths....but I'd try chatty). Drop them the table and ask for the formula

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT

      Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol.

      PAT / Premier Auto Trade parts?

      Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
