Ok I suppose it is time I started to obey the law here in Ireland ( being caught talking hand held while driving is an automatic 2 penalty points and possible careless driving charge since last month)...

I'm looking at this

Does anyone have any experience of it? And why does it say on the nokia site that it needs professional instalation? It's just a screen that you attach to the dash and a control that you attach somewhere handy like the lid of the glove compartment right? How does it communicate with your radio? via an fm frequency? or does it just auto mute the car radio and how? It's also totally wireless isnt it? Theres no wiring up involved is there?

It's here for about €400

Theres another cheaper option that has a screen and definitely does talk to your radio somehow? link It's sony ericson but compatable with my nokia seemingly,I'm wondering about the sound quality though compared to the 616?

And then theres an ultra cheapo sony

What do ye all think ? What are the options for a simple device without wiring that I can literally plug in and play?
The budget extends to about €400 or so for an all singing & dancing gadget ( ie one that recognises my phone in pocket automatically when I turn on the ignition and whose base unit just sticks into a cigarette lighter or something ) but if it can be done for way less than that all well and good.

Could anyone here explain the options and comment on the links

Thanks
