It's certainly cheaper, but the standard serial port seems a bit dodgy - water ingress etc.

 

the DTUK guy seems to be putting me off since I mentioned this problem I have with the car...

... and since he's a salesman I'm a bit concerned that he's putting me off!

Thanks for the information - very interesting.

 

My problem with the bluefin is that it's so locked down.  I appreciate they want to keep it secure, 1 purchase, 1 map, 1 car etc etc.  But even if I buy it, even if I decide to pay them for a new car map, I have to send it back to them?  It's just a bit much.

 

With the DTUK boxes, are you at least buying something tangiable, that can be sold on if required.

 

A second hand bluefin, at least one without a map, is effectively worth £25 trade in isn't it?

 

Also, does anyone know how easy these common rail boxes are to fit to the 2.0TDCI focus?  The 1.6TDCI horror show is worrying!

For reference:

 

The phone button on my bluetooth equiped mk2.5 sony brings up a menu of missed calls, and pressing left/right changes to received calls, outgoing calls, phonebook and 'enter number'.  This is when an iPhone is connected.

 

Not used a parrot in this car, but the quality is superb using the built in kit, its less messy and the caller can hear both me, and a front passenger clearly.

 

I'd go to the hassle of building the proper bluetooth if its possible.

Yeah don't get me wrong - I won't be fitting it, and the pic made me laugh too...

 

It was merely to agitate a discussion on the various options really, how cheap is too cheap, whats good bad ugly etc.
