Hands Free Cell Phone Kit

I tried several and shopped for days trying to find something decent so I am appealing to this site.

I don't have bluetooth and don't want a professional install b/c the phone can change and then the system installed may not work with a different phone model.

I tried the Co-Pilot. It worked great but was made poorly and breaks in days. If I can find a well built co-pilot that would be ideal.

Ideally, I like something with a holder (if it also charges that is a plus) and I just need something to amplify my fairly weak cell phone's speaker phone.

I use an earphone and mic wire, not speaker. That'd be okay?

I will check it out. I RARELY use the phone while I drive but when I do, I want to be hands free and ear free. I really only use the phone when I am getting driving directions so my focus is still about my surroundings. Trust me, I do NOT want to use the cell phone any longer than I have to in the car.

Was your CCM blue tooth? Mine wasn't. Maybe I should try it again. The built in speaker did not work. It is just a holder and recharger and I use my phone's very weak built in speaker so it is not really good enough.

I never get sick of seeing that pic

I work in wireless, if you are close to upgrade time just go bluetooth then your kit becomes pretty much universal. Motorola makes some good bluetooth kits that can be used with any other brand.

What phone do you have maybe I can help more.
