Hands free calling options

[ZedsDeadbabyZedzdead]

Hi Guys

What are you using for hands free calling options please, I’m hoping to pick up a 56 plate coupe this Saturday and the drive home is circa 4 hours so wanted to know if I could buy something I can set up simply and quickly for the cruise home,
Thanks for reading

I've just fitted this. Does music as well. It all depends if you have an aux input. I ran mine under the trim and up through the ashtray bit so it's next to my USB input: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07C78WV6J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks that looks snazzy, without owning the car and with only a few basic interior pics is there an easy way to tell if there is an AUX please?
I’ve emailed the dealer to ask him to check tomorrow if not.
Thanks

Back in the old days I used to use the parrot systems however I’d imagine they are obsolete now a days

The Bluetooth transmitters work quite well and stream music too. They tune to an unused radio station. A member from here put me onto it and it works well

It depends when it was built!

My first Coupe was built in October 2006 and had the Aux-in, but my second was built in August 2006 and didn't have it. Although after a few months I discovered one had been retro-fitted in the glovebox. :lol:

4 hour drive in a 3.0l coupe. Last thing I’d be thinking of is calling someone - listen to that soundtrack

If it has the bluetooth module & mic (top steering wheel casing) you should be fine with an iphone (with the 4 digit pair code)
I have found iPhones Bluetooth in easy & stick. I use an iPhone 12 in my 2006 Coupe original OEM BT receiver.

Android however initially connects then drops and cant do calls (Google Pixel 3).

Yep

I have one of them too … I’ve seen a few Zeds with them now

Works ok for me

Imagine being that important that you need to be available all the time to make and receive calls.

Chateauneuf du Pape as Del Boy used to say.

I must admit using it for calls is that last thing I do

It plays google/Waze nav directions through the car speakers

I can listen to online/dab radio/podcasts through the car speakers as well as using Apple Music which beats a 6cd stack any day

A great little device for a tenner
