Title: Factory fit phone doofer
Post by: Shrodinger's Cat on 11 December 2006, 19:18: I've got a factory fit phone prep, but don't know how to sort it for my Sony Ericsson 810i.

Any clues?

Where can I get a cradle (pls don't say the dealer :cry:), are they specific to VW phone prep, and are they easy to fit?

It simply slides on, thats it. I am not sure about vw specific, as I own other cars with bluetooth phone prep factory. I'll take some pics of mine and put up to show you.

Also vw re a bot slow to update to all the new handsets.

I have a Sony Ericsson W810i which has been around for a while now, so they must have the bits for it. :undecided:

I drive an RS4 too... in my dreams, but at least that way I can enjoy it and not have to worry about the steep insurance and fuel bills :grin: :grin: :grin:

Post by: illyun on 12 December 2006, 18:57: Its the only car that I would seriously consider over a GTI or R32... Porsche's are nice but way over budget for me...

Porsche no chance, my gift to my self on my 30th birthday will be an Aston Vanquish. As for the RS4, the insurance for me will only cost Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£395 fully comp, so slightly cheaper then my Golf. As for fuel, again it's not too bad. I have always owned petrol guzzlers.
