Re: Headsets Recommendation
I don't like the bluetooth earpieces either, although my Plantronics Discovery 975 works quite well. The Plantronics do not have ear hooks so they do not interfere with glasses, sunglasses, etc
Since the SVX is a quiet car and anyone in the car with me could hear at least half of any conversation, I now use a visor mounted handsfree speaker. Allows me to change volume and switch between phone and speaker easily. Speaker quality is very good, loads of talk time and the prices are coming down. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...959V8MH8YJH5W9 Review HERE Or just tint your windows...

Re: Headsets Recommendation
Hi John,
Could the wiring to the visor intended for the lighted mirror be used to power one of these?

Re: Headsets Recommendation
You have a speaker mounted to a SVX sunvisor? Are you crazy.

Re: Headsets Recommendation
Actually, I have it clipped on to the visor "backwards" so that the unit is at the front of the visor (closest to the windshield). No strain on the visor at all. Much lighter than it looks.
You can also position it normally and slide the unit to the farthest (closest to the pivot) for added strength. Or anywhere in the car, like the molding above the driver's door, etc. .

Re: Headsets Recommendation
OK, good thing I don't do that...
That must be in a completely different section of the vehic code, I found nothing about that when I was researching the cell phone usage.

Re: Headsets Recommendation
I drive multiple cars so buying something tied to one vehicle is not going to happen, also the Mazda 6 console is not too aftermarket friendly. (nor is the Mazda 5 for that matter) The SVX already has a new single DIN. It has the iPod input but no bluetooth, and yeah the pocket is nice. I used to hold 4 CD cases in there, no it just holds the iPod.

I just bought the 'Plantronics Voyager Pro plus' a few days ago. Pretty happy with it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/tech-data/B0043EV20G Even happier to have found it online at a reduced price rather than buying it in store while at Best Buy for $106. I got it on Amazon and had it shipped 2 day air and it was still $17 cheaper. This is probably one of the most douchiest sets money can buy, but nothing else comes close for comfort in this price range. I've read some reviews that claim the wearer forgets it is there, and I agree with them. Could be a touch louder in my car because of my exhaust, but it's not bad. Actually most of the reviews I've read are pretty spot-on. I still have long hair, though, so it doesn't look so douchey on me since you can't really see it. :P Your douchiness may vary.

Re: Headsets Recommendation
I have the motorola IHF 1000 in both of my Audis. I was able to interface it through the original factory car phone wiring in both cars so it is completely integrated. I know the SVX is prewired for a car phone, so perhaps something similar could be worked out. The unit is AWESOME. The voice quality both ways is fantastic.
A guy in Brooklyn was selling them for under $50 brand new. That's where I got mine. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Bluet.../dp/B0008IV508

Re: Headsets Recommendation
My favorite is the plantronics. Get the one with the earpiece that goes inside your ear so you'll be able to hear with the window down.
