Hands free kits - what do you use? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

speedingpanther · 5th May 2012, 12:40 PM

Whilst I take very few calls while driving - it's an advantage to be able to... So something I'm struggling to sort in my 33 is a bluetooth hands free kit (non ear peice type) I can actually hear over my exhaust.

Just wondering what everyone else has been using (bar the jokes about oulling over, lift off the loud pedal etc etc

). Having the caller hear me isn't a problem, but hearing them is.

Feedback?

I use this Alpine CDE-123R CD Receiver / USB & iPod Controller) works with iPhone harfords are doing deals on them the now. mate phoned me the other day and said the sound quality was great even with the exhaust in background he could still hear me

Hope this helps

Cheers for the reply - not after a new unit though - just the hands free

a very big and sturdy rubberband.

rofl - now thats a classic.

Fortunately - I had pre-empted a joke (not of this "quality" I admit) and asked to exclude all "ear" peices

Go for the Nokia CK7-W simple kit and literaly bullet proof I've been installing them for the past 3-4 years and they never fail and does what it says on the tin, the only phone which has a bit of echo is the black berry because it's got a unique Bluetooth software, we charge £140 supplied and fitted so it shouldn't cost much more than that 07973733441 if you need any advice hope this helps

Cheers dude
How many have you installed in skylines and actually tested against loud exhaust use?

gtr_vspec · 30th November 2012, 03:20 PM

I use a TomTom. It could do with being louder - or more like the car could do with being quieter/sound deadened.

Whole thing works pretty well, as the iPhone is connected to the head unit for music, so when it rings, the music mutes and then the TomTom starts ringing

Parrot are supposed to be really good. Never tried one though.

I've used parrots in the past and they work well, about £150 though, the lasst one I had was a kenwood HU that cost about £160 and did bluetooth and ipod/USB integration all in one. It was a much better solution.

Id recomend any parrot with the double microphone they always seem to pick your voice up well and coming through your cars speakers you can always hear them. The mki9200 is good if you have an iphone
