Just thinking instead of having to pair my iphone every time I get in the car can I just get an old nokia phone and put it in the car holder and just leave it all the time with a pay as you go sim card in for car use only.
If so what phone would I put in and would it pair up every time by itself and then would I get my contacts up on the touchscreen and what would it do to the battery if left for a long time.

from memory its a 6310 i think...

edit, done search and its ,

nokia 3100, 6100, 6220, 6230, 6230i, 6610, 6610i, 6820, 6822, 7210, 7250 ... - .- -.

@Steve9bug, is your FF fitted with the touchscreen nav system and do you already have a phone cradle fitted in the upper cubby of the centre console? It might be worthwhile double checking what phone type the cradle is for, should be a part number and other info on the underside of the cradle if you release it from the console.

The reason I'm saying that is because I've got a centre console cradle and a Sony Ericsson T610 phone fitted in my MY05 model Touchscreen nav TD6 Vogue (got the items as a pair off fleabay for a bargain), and set it up with a PAYG sim. It works a treat.

Yes it has touchscreen and a cradle in the car think it has nokia on it but never looked underside so will do thanks

Who is going to call you on an unknown number?

Can you not alter that in the settings on the phone? Don't know about the iPhones but I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and it pairs automatically. It was in the phone settings somewhere.

Sorry I may have misunderstood your last bit but I used my GAPiiD to reflash the bluetooth module as it was, initially, not working properly. I wonder if that is an option for you?

My FF is also a late registered 2004 (MY2005) with touchscreen. John

I had a cradle left over from one of the previous RRs it's a nokia, and nothing in the 07 my I bought. Found a 6230i on the French flebay for 25 euro, bought a sim and the phone is in the car for ever. It works on the screen and through the steeringwheel switch, I copied all my contacts on to the sim and Im only phoned by those who have that number.
No brainer for me.

You could always put on a call redirect from your main phone to the phone in the car. Will obviously only work with incoming calls.
