In a bit of a dilemna on what kit to get, I have a nokia N95 phone and not sure what kit to get??

I have narrowed it down to 3 choices:

1> Parrot CK3200
2> Nokia CK-15W
3> Alpine 300BT

Reading on shops that have already listed the alpine say that its only compatable with 2007+ headunits - i have a Alpine 310 screen? - will it work?

With the nokia being symbian based OS on it i am not sure what functions will be available (if any) on the alpine 300BT IF it was compatable??

I always think that if you have the same make kit...as the phone its sometimes better?

i have yet to get one of the alpine 300bt units to fully test so i reserve judgement on it. as for the other two, i would recommend the parrot ck3100 not the 3200. nokia ck-15w is again a new kit which i havent had in yet as it is too new a product. i will give a full report on the kits as soon as i get them.

I would have to agree with Andy

Parrot CK-3100 would be the one I would go for too.

The parrot kit are very good thats what I would go for. Andy have you seen the mr hands free by talex very very good I would say better than parrot tbh. The mr hands free has a built in sim card reader.

havent seen it but if their speed camera detectors are anything to go by then : :(

why would you need a sim card reader?

The mr hands free is very good. The sim card reader is back up in case your battery went flat and you could not charge it up.

usual location on the e46 is the bit of trim to the right of the stereo. mounts up quite neatly there.
