Hi all. Thanks for all your informative postings. While most of you are working at the high end, I thought I'd share my rather low end arrangement for my Fit Sport, in case there are other cheapskates like myself out there.

I already had a Verizon XV6700 smartphone, a bluetooth mouse, and Navigation software when I got my Fit. So it was just a question of how to fit it all in. Basically, I just picked up a cheap no name bluetooth handsfree device here ($30, clips on the visor), a few cables and mini-wiring clips (<$20), and a simple suction cup mount ($16), and that gave me a funky but functional phone, mp3 player, and navigation system that plays through the car's audio system. The phone doubles as a navigator and mp3 player, and I'm left handed, so I like it to the left of the steering wheel. When I get or make a call, the phone automatically shifts to the handsfree set; I have to turn off the handsfree set when the call is done to play things through the car's speakers again, but otherwise, it's pretty simple to use. Pictures of the install are below.

 

Hey Kudos to you for using the materials you already have and adapting to the situation. I'm picking at detail but what kind of adhesive was used on those clips in pic 3? Will it clean off when you want to change stuff around? Either way rep points for you. It doesn't look that cheap.

 

The clips work by little foam stickies; I'm more worried about them falling off over time than leaving adhesive behind, but then I'm not really sure what happens to the stickiness over time. I'm OK if they leave just a little bit of a mark, but others might not be.
