In car hands free recommendations

Any recommendations with caller ID, including contact list, I guess this will be via Bluetooth?

Syncs to my phone address book, voice recognition and plays music via my iPod

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm after but cheaper

Most devices I'm seeing are Bluetooth earpieces which is not what I need.

At which point do you draw the line though?
The way I look at it, a couple of uses and it's already paid for itself, you have to decide, do you want to pay the monies to the authorities or for a bluetooth kit?

I have never had too much success with aftermarket BT HF kits - the sound quality hasn't been the best for the other side of the call.

They can be hit & miss, depends on the quality of fitting as well and how well isolated from other electrical interference the cable runs are.

I have found that earpieces are much better, most will activate voice dialling etc.

I went with the 9100i as i wanted a less obvious screen.

End of the day there will be a cost.

i wanted Bluetooth audio,ipod connectivity,contacts etc.
Call quality is fine with no complaints from use in 3 cars.

Under £120 new on ebay.
you can pay less and take a gamble on 2nd hand.
Self install is easy but will require an adapter loom/SOT cable from memory.

My error, I wasn't entering the correct wording :o

I used a Jabra Cruiser 2 Bluetooth adapter before we got cars with built in hands free. They are similar to the case used to hold a pair of glasses and clip to the sun visor. The Cruiser 2 is now no longer available new (or I don't think it is). The speech quality was superb at both ends, and it had voice dialing too. It lasted a long time on a charge, 2 or 3 weeks or more.

The Amazon price in 2013 was £37.95
