speedfreek Regarding a phone holder, I have a Brodit one. It's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but it's the best one I have seen for the Lex.
they are good, and bought one, only thing was the one i bought was for the iphone with case and i dont have a case on my phone so it didnt sit snug.......it didnt say that on the packaging! so never used it!

Calls can be either answered handsfree by pressing the enlarged button onscreen or via bluetooth headsets, or even by bluetooth connection to the stereo if you have one available.
Very useful I've found :biggrin:

I use a Motorola Atrix, and bought a car dock for it. The phone sits in it and the screen automatically changes to provide access to a few selected apps, like google navigation, calls, Torque, etc.

Stoney I have decided not to go down the fully integrated car kit route at this time, (maybe with the PC instal, but that's a way off yet!) but instead to get a decent bluetooth headset (with noise cancelling) and some kind of phone holder. Does anybody have any recommendations for these items?
I have seen a Jawbone Aliph Prime unit that looks quite appealing, discounted from £89 to about £30, and that is the current favourite. I am not a massive fan of windscreen suction cup mounted phone holders, and wondered what alternatives there would be, (that don't involve screwing into or permanently marking the dash!) maybe with a thin plate that can be mounted within an existing joint in the interior panels of the centre console?
I need to make a decision quickly, as they will need to be ordered in the next couple of days to receive them in good time for Christmas! All input appreciated...
I've got a vent mounted phone holder which actually works surprisingly well, and also a spiderpodium which is great for temporary use and to then chuck in the glovebox.
In terms of a fixed mount as you've mentioned I think Brodit are the best.
As for headsets I think nowadays they're all pretty good so pick whichever one you like best

01-11-2018, 12:31 PM #15I'm very often taking and making phone calls while driving. There is no law against it here, but perhaps there should be. I've never been in a situation where the phone has prevented me from driving like I'm supposed to though.

i now got a bluetooth stereo so dont need to touch phone but before that had a parrot bluetooth kit and that was good just had to speak and it would answer or say a name and it would dial it and when driving it would reduce volume on the music but not the stereo when talking on phone . there was no echo and would block out road noise aswell so the person you were talking to could here you they start at about £50 upwards but are well worth it
