Has anyone got any kind of retro fit bluetooth kit fitted to their car. I'm not talking a brand specific which matches to your headunit, i.e. Kenwood, Alpine etc but one of the Parott kinds.

I really want/need one as I only ever seem to get phone calls when driving, and an earpiece is just annoying.

However, I've seen this picture on eBay:




I'm put off by the amount of wires and more importantly the big blue box. As you might know there is limited space behind a Corsa B dash, so where could I hide it all? Has anyone ever fitted one?

Easy Peasy you tart

I've done one of them on a Corsa before, I've just done a motorola HF kit on my Ibiza, no space at all, I put the control box above the glovebox

I did just notice a space above the glove box in a Corsa.

What about issues of heat etc?

Got that Parrot kit in my car - works really well, and fitted the blue box next to the fusebox under the steering cowling.

I've got the 1st style hands free kit that came out of halfords. As the kit upgraded, i swapped the parts over

It's easy to do. If anything, it's more time consuming.

Might as well keep my current ear piece. I want something the phone will automatically connect to. Often I get a phone call when I haven't bothered switching on my ear piece

Just ordered one from Amazon.co.uk! £57 including delivery. Cheaper than most websites & eBay.

I'm sure it'll work. Just think it'll end up rolling around the glove box and shit

Planning on putting the butting inside the ash tray, if it'll fit, so hidden
