just bought myself a hands-free kit for me motor - hundred quid from halfords - fitted jobbie and have to say it is not a bad bit of kit - comes through car speakers, cuts out cd player, sounds top!! spoke to bloke who was fitting it and we sorted a way to minimise mess - only one wire coming from phone into a socket fitted in the storage space below the radio.
v impressed... thought i'd share it with you guys
hands free

Downunder...
Down here using your phone while driving has been illegal for more than a year now (still you see a lot of people doing it anyway), unless you have a headset (wired or wireless) or a full in car kit installed. Get caught and you'll have to pay 100$ AU (about 40 pounds) and a point added to your licence (12 points max).
I got myself a universal kit from a company called ABC Imex
The kit doesn't look that good, but it only cost me about 45 pounds. I took it apart and added/removed bits to my liking and the friendly people at VW dealer hardwired the power cable for me (got my ciggie lighter back) and hid the microphone cable inside the plastic of the center console.
Sounds, OK, still using the speaker built into the unit, and does all I want it to do. People can hear me and i can hear them... and it's legal.
I've put some pictures of my polo on the web, there's some of the modified kit up as well:
