Phone In My Tintop

[Longboarder]

Being a bit of a dinosaur I don't quite keep up to date with the last 20 years of electronics. So I want to get in the car and use my mobile phone without having to stick an irritating bluetooth dongle in my ear when I drive 200 miles. Something to plumb into the car electrics would be nice so I just rest the phone in a cradle. Preferably without having to fiddle with settings. Samsung Phone with Android. If it mutes the radio and talks through the cars speakers that would be nice.

What do I look for on ebay or wherever?

bluetooth on the stereo maybe

If you've got an aftermarket stereo you might already have that facility. Most modern head units will Bluetooth to your phone. You may simply need a microphone which can clip on your visor or be installed neatly on the pillar.

Ive never used it as my phone cost £7.95, & doesnt have bluetooth (but it does make excellent phone calls)

but I understand my TOMTOM satnav can connect to a bluetooth phone.

I was hoping for a more sophisticated version of the early hands free bluetooth thingies. Ebay at £20 would be about right. I wasn't planning on changing the radio at £300! Or buying a new car that's got the bits in it at £25000!!
