Bought a 12" male/male 3.5mm cable for £2.24 (delivered!) and attached the earphone socket of the phone to the aux socket of the hifi. It works OK, caller comes through very clear though I also have to close the windows to make myself properly audible. The mike of the phone picks up well from where it's dangling below the hifi.Check out http://www.WonderHolder.com
The main problem (which difffers from bluetooth) is if I'm listening to anything but music from the phone (CD, USB etc) I'm reliant on seeing the phone lighting up to know there is a call, then switch to aux on the steering stalk and hit the answer button on the phone.
I don't make calls on the move so don't need to think about that.
Now looking at whether there is cheap way to hold the phone in a handy place. Blutac is not being considered!
