Hi,
I'm looking for the best non-intrusive and cost-effective audio/phone/nav options for my Z4.
Sorry that I'm probably repeating..but there are overwhelming posts. Would be useful if there was a sticky of the common options if someone could direct me there..
Ideally want someway of using 4S in car to make calls/texts and play music through the car speakers..but also need someway to charge the phone. I have a separate TomTom for nav but the charging cable keeps breaking or it keeps falling off so sometimes i have to use google maps app with the phone in the ashtray, it keeps knocking over though.
Options:
- Parrot Mki9100 looks good but perhaps too many bits to stick around the dash and the controls near the gearbox..+ looks a bit cluttered and might be fiddly to use.. enquired at a garage and could be fit for £40
- bluetooth stereo with AUX in - enquired at garage and approx £150 +£10 cables + £15 fascia + £50 to get fixed
- iPhone holder + aux in / separate bluetooth, is there any way of using siri?
- garmin Nav with bluetooth? then get separate aux
I don't mind trying simple fittings /installations myself (no experience) but don't want to screw up the wiring...also if I spend on a bluetooth stereo, which I think it less visually intrusive would it be possible to transfer to another car IF I sell the Z?
Thanks for your help in advance!
