I have fitted a Sony MEXBT5100 to the scooby. Whilst I am more then happy with the stereo and the quality of the handsfree phone link I wondered if there was a extendable mic I could purchase to wire it in making it clearer for people to hear on the other end. I know most handsfree kits have them just wondered if this was an option with a stereo??

Nope, I have the same one and was told when I bout it that it had a mic that could be positioned in the car. was well cheesed off when I fitted it to find it in the head unit itself with no aux in for another mic. It's OK but I find I was shouting at the headunit alot and that it was pants when you were giving it some beans. I use some motorola bluetooth headphone for calling on the move instead now, £15 off Ebay and they are awesome for the gym too!

My Bugeye is standard so anyone with a fruity zorst would struggle with this unit.

Plus points are that you can stream music to it from your phone or ipod if you have the bluetooth adaptor for it.

I just bought an Alpine X300 this is similar price to sony one but has no cd drive (which don't bother me) but it does have a seperate mic so hopefully should work fine when making phone calls

Fitted the sony aswell and found the microphone is crap, almost useless ... Ended up fitting a Parrott CK3000, doddle to fit and only £49

Well I fitted my Alpine X300 today and after a little bit of trouble getting my phone to pair with it all is fine now (needed to change some bluetooth settings on my phone), tested a few calls and all working ok, Just need to figure out how all the functions work now, think I need to read the instructions

Will the Alpine X300 work with any bluetooth mobile?

So I gave up on the extra mic!

I have been given a iPod Nano for christmas, can and how would this best be fitted to play music via the car stereo, Sony MEXBT5100. Any help much appreciated everyone been spot on before, Merry Xmas.

Dease cheers for the offer but bro in law sorted me one from an electrical dealer he knows, Sony one too, so its a bonus.
