Hi all.

I was hoping someone could advise re the best handsfree solution. My E90 has telephone controls on the steering wheel and on the radio itself, but no bluetooth.

I would like any solution to include:

Bluetooth call answering,

voice dialling,

music streaming from my android phone.

Do BMW offer a solution?

Has anyone tried a "Parrot" model with Unika? - I would rather not have additional controls on the dashboard.

Anyway, any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I use the Parrot MKi 9200, that allows bluetooth calls and streaming.

Also has a lead with iPod usb in for memory sticks and mini usb connections, I have the control on the dash behind the steering wheel so it's not easily seen but easy to use with out looking.

Thanks Mike.

I spoke to BMW today, and they said that to retro-fit a Bluetooth system to the audio system could cost up to £4,000!!

So, it looks like it's the Parrot for me. I just worry that it will clutter up the dashboard, but I'll have a look at your idea.

Thanks again.

I would not put a parrot in my car. They are moody buggers and if it jumps off its perch and starts flying around while you're driving you'll probably have an accident.

Good advice indeed Jeff. Hadn't thought about that. :D

My mate said they don't go cheep, so I bought some parrot seed today and I'll try to grow one for myself. :P (groan)
