Just bought my g'f a car but I need a few gadgets ...

Aliboy · 18 Feb 2006 at 20:38

I have just got my g'f a cheeky wee A Class merc but I need to find a few bits and bobs to put in it to make it that wee bit special for her.

It's her birthday on Monday and she wants a few odds and sods to put in her car.

It doesn't have car mats so I'll be getting those. Also, I think she would really like a DAB car stereo with CD player built in. I have seen a link to those Parot thingies and they look kinda cool. Any ideas on those? Also what about a decent hands free kit for the car. She changes her phone every year with her work and I'm not sure if there is a decent universal hands free kit on the market.
TBH I'm pants with anything 4 wheel related so I'm completely at a loss. To give you an idea of a budget for the car gadgets then I would say £250 max as I've still got to take her shopping for clothes and the meal on Monday is really gonna sting me :eek:

Thanks in advance peeps

Also with regards to mats, Merc do some Black velour ones with silver edges for the C-Class which look awesome, try to find some for the A-Class as they're much nicer than the rubber ones you can get.

Thanks Russ. That does look good but (I am going to sound like a real noob saying this) where the heck does the mobile phone plug in to? I can't see any conections on the facia for it

Quick edit:

How easy is it to fit that stereo if I decided to buy it?

aliboy it's bluetooth

as in it connects via bluetooth, which im guessing her phone will have if she has a modern phone from work.

Also that HU doesn't have DAB, only the ability to control a dab unit.

You know I've just realised about the bluetooth thing

I came on here to make a quick edit in the hope that no one had replied yet

I am such a numpty. I swear if I was any dimmer .... I'd go out

Could you be more specific about the DAB thing rG-tom. Does that mean that I would have to buy anouther unit in order to get DAB radio?

Ye gods man.

£250 for the stereo and £230 for a radio thingy. That's it .... she's getting a nodding dog, furry dice and and an air freshener
