Portable Bluetooth Hands Free Kit

Hi All

Looking for some advice on portable bluetooth hands free kits for my wifes car. The built in units are quite expensive so i was looking at a portable one. Years ago i had a BlueAnt which was OK. Would like to know if they have improved since the first generation if anyone has one or any alternatives people may recommend.

Thanks
Greg

don't our cars come with bluetooth as standard? (or does it only come with nav)

before my 125 i used the supertooth light and it was perfect, loved it so much as it just worked perfectly... as long as it was charged. it did leave quite a dent on the sunvisor though.

Latest from BlueAnt is the S4, seems to be selling well and have heard no complaints. Link is below.

That's funny, I bought a BlueAnt SuperTooth Light for my Wife's Passat. She never uses it. Works for me though, much cheaper than the built-in option.

Works brilliantly either way. It has noise cancellation. The only problem is the range is too good. I sometimes forget to switch it off and take my mobile with me. I can be upstairs in my house and my call has gone to the bluetooth in the car in the garage.

do you have a built in unit in your 123d and how does it compare? I really like the set up in my 135 and have had no complaints. I guess for $150 it's worth a try.
