I fitted the nokia bluetooth CKW to mine, its great, dont need to even take phone out of your pocket. Have since taken it out of my 33 and put it into my 32. Its being used with a sony ericsson now.

You want Nokia - you have Nokia.

On removal a few little screw holes on the side will be damned difficult to spot.

thanks heaps mark that was my thaught but looking at the coin tray if it could be fitted inside that slot it would bring the fone further away from your legs but it dont look deep enough and as i dont have my car yet its hard to visualise

Mike, I went BlueTooth, I bought a speaker the other day and it just clips onto the sun visor. If you've got a BlueTooth phone, just leave it in your pocket like kjb_r33 said.

There are plenty around (BlueTooth and regular) that plug directly into the ciggie lighter socket (such as the Nokia one), too, and have an in-built speaker. Then it's just a matter of finding a spot for the phone, maybe take the Hazard button and surround out and hook something behind it that won't damage the dash too much...

Mine has (quoted) 20hrs talk time and 800hrs standby on its inbuilt battery, so I'll just leave it attached until the red LED starts flashing asking for a recharge.

This is the one I've got:

me personally i dont like the car kit. waste of money. First of all the kit itself its not cheap (3-500bucks??) +installation. How long are you going to keep the phone for 2yrs? then wat? get a new phone and it doesnt necessary fit your old kit!! Then wat? you get a new one. If you are not going to put an ugly ariel for the extra gain on signal strength dont bother in getting the car ket.

Just like everyone else says get a bluetooth spearker phone or a bluet tooh ear peice. Speaker phone are dangerous especially when your GF or wife is in the car with you and one of your buddy calls you and talk about some great chick that you met last night in the pub!!! Then you are toasted!! Get a earpeice. Be sure to get in car charger for it as well for both your mobile phone and your bluetooth .

I hope this helps i dont mean to kick anybody's butt. but just helping

ok here is what i have got.i got a full car kit including a phone off ebay for 150 bucks.the car kit is as new and fits all our phones as most of the new style nokias fit in the one holder. so if im in the car my phone fits if missus is in car her phone fits etc also it charges the phone while in the kit.ive already been busted for using phone without hands free in the patrol but was lucky and just got cautioned.

im a determined bugger im sure between everyone here we will work it out i mean even if it means buying a new facia if i have to

allrught man im just telling you before you go ahead with it. But if you insist well go ahead then be sure you update us on it though. since this is a disscussion group isnt it!!? :)

Are you going to fit it yourself?

if you go into any strathfield store, and ask for no-holes brackets to suit a nokia car kit, they'll help you out. hard to explain, but they just slot into the gaps between your centre facia and the vinyl around it. no pics, but i had a nokia CK-7W, installed by myself, with no holes, very solidly mounted with a No Holes Bracket.

A better option wouldve been the supertooth 2 that nick has, but bit late.

Velcro strips? Double sided tape? I can think of a few ways to mount it without using those and not leave any visible holes. However it requires custom brackets and drilling holes in places that aren't actually visible underneath the console.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
