Hi gang,
I searched first and the only cell-phone install I found was Doc Bonz (and a fine install it was). I'm not looking for a totally hands-free system, just a way to hold my phone so it won't launch from the coin tray every time I take a corner. Has anybody found a bracket that integrates into the upper air vents or.........?

Thanks,

Bruce

 

I used to have a holder for the center vents, but I got rid of it when I switched phones. Now I just use the the blank din under my alpine headunit.

pepboys has some of those holders that you are talking about.

 

No Pep Boys in Oregon. I'll check my local cell phone retailers.
There was a company making a really cool bracket that fits around the stereo mounting plate(I had one in my 4Runner), but I don't know if they have one for the Z. If I find one, I'll post it.

 

Is it really only feasible to have a hands free setup if you have a blue tooth phone? All the posts I've found about this seem to lead to companies offering blue tooth setups - but unfortunately my phone doesn't have that. I find this hard to swallow, since my Mom's 89 Z had one of those old school car phones (permanent mount), and she had a hands free kit!

 

Not to change the subject of holders, but there's the "Bluetooth" that like a Hearing aid that you wear on your ear, left o right. No wires, anything. You can keep your cell in the glove box, and nobody can even see it when your driving. i.e. for the day, when the law says - no cell phones while driving. Cingular has them and also believeTmobile does too now.

 

sundevil67- My sister just installed another handsfree kit in her new Porsche, so they're still available.

WSchli1672- I have friends who ***** and moan continually about Bluetooth sound quality. Besides, I can't see my caller-ID screen if the phones in the glove box:-)

 

Here's a pic of mine...Even though it is full Hands-Free, you can buy just a pro looking Cradle only......

FLZ-
Nice, clean install. That mount is what I was looking for. How's the hands-free setups sound quality while you're driving at highway speed? I was just planning on using a unidirectional headset microphone.
thanks,

Bruce

 

Hi Bruce, Actually, now with the Nextel set-up, I can hear the ring over the highway noise....The last two phones I had with it were the Motorola V60, and then the V600.....For some reason, the phones Motorola makes for Nextel have incredible speakers built in.....Don't understand why they don't make all their phones with the same internals.....As far as the Hands-free part, It's really incredible....plus I now don't worry about taking my eyes off the road, (at least to talk on phone).......I imagine that this will be the standard for most in the near future with alot of states banning regular use of the cellphone........GL2U.....Dave

 

Anyone have any pictures of creative permanently mounted cel phone installs? Here is an example of one in a Lexus. I am looking to do something maybe with the change-bin space. Anyone ??
