Handsfree kit in A160

[guy999]

Hi
New to this, however have a new shape A160 with this option
386 Phn Pr Wr/Hndsfr £313.20 exc. vat

However understand now need some form of cradle to put phone into to get it to work.
My phone is either Sony Ericson K800, or Nokia 6120.

Any ideas where i get one from and how much it will cost.
Confused
Thanks

Can see that MB do cradles at £133 but think this too expensive.
But cant find any that state 6120 or k800i.

Also if they do these kits what is partcode and do you have the name of another retailer as dont want to pay so much

You should be fine with a 386 phone kit in the car. I don't think this device is that expensive, if you compare it to the price of a phone cradle.

The MB cradle brochure (should find it from a link on this thread:
http://mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=41315&highlight=cradle )
does not mention A-class on the list of not-supported models.

Get familiar with the differences between the BT HF and BT SAP devices before deciding which one suites you better.

I guess postage is not included on this eBay offering. You should be able to buy a new one directly from MB at 250 euros. I have not tried their service but they claim delivering to all EU countries.

At least this eBay part appears to be the latest version (not sure if there was any earlier one for the HFP device, V1 SAP devices have a few compatibility issues with certain phones).
