Looking for a bluetooth car kit that doesn't require or recommend
professional installation. What's the best combination of usability,
integration, and simplicity? Doesn't have to be the cheapest, for
example I don't think I want one that plugs into the cigarette lighter
and has the speaker and microphone on it the cigarette lighter plug.
The car currently has a proprietary Nokia kit with microphone,
speaker, and cradle. It would be nice to get one that could integrate
with that, but I think that's doubtful...

Target sells a battery operated one that clips to the visor. Sure, you
plug it in to the cig lighter now and again to charge it, but no big
deal.
There's also another one that sits on the windshield and charges by
solar.

Stop by Circuit City/Best Buy or your favorite electronics discounter and
pair your phone with one of their BT car radios and try it. I think that's
the best way to go. You can even play your stereo songs on the phone over
the car stereo over A2DP if your phone supports it. They have controls for
the handsfree on the car radios, now.
Sellphone audio never sounded better.....and it interrupts whatever the
radio is listening to while you make/take the calls.
Don't let them sell you a "Bluetooth Ready" car stereo that takes another
$150 box before the damned phone will pair with it. Most of the car
stereos are like this....addon sales crapware.
My phone still has a pairing with the nicest Pioneer at Best Buy's car
department. What's fun is to sneak in and turn it on BT then stand off and
play Glenn Miller big band music real loud for the hip-hopper/rappers in
the baggy jeans and do-rags.....(c;
Unless someone else has paired with it, I don't even have to enter the auto
department before I can control it!....hee he..
