I've seen this kit, and didn't like the look of the spiral cable, I mean do I need the ability to talk with the phone in my hand on the end of a cable? We are afterall installing it for hands free functionality! I guess the passenger can use it privately then though...

Is there something about having to drop the microphone out and change a wire over or something? I spoke to my dealer (Saab City in London) and they told me that Nokia *do* do (do do?) a kit for the 8210, and when fitted just a short section of wire is visible. I failed to get the part number from them, but they told me it was about £150, with the bracket being about £15 (they were of course offering to fit it for me, £325 inclusive.....) So, I guess I need to call the dealer back, or call in and take a look at the kit - he said there's a couple of examples in employees cars. Simon.
