I can understand the aerial, but ever since BT functionality became a reality I can't see the point of a car kit. The phone stays in my pocket.

regionqal and remote areas you get reception up to 90km from a tower, instead of 10-15km, so instead of driving through a town with service and not getting your messages without stopping, you get time to get messages, and call them back, before your out of service again.

If you never take the prado out of town, I can see why you wouldnt need a car kit :wink:

Havent got mine set up as yet, but will post pics when its done.

How does that work when the iPhone has no physical antenna connection?

Oh, BTW, my Prado out-of-town kms are well over 90%, If you include driving through town to get out of town, it's even higher.

So what model car kit do you have? I think a few of us here may well be interested in a car kit that allows long range or better range from our phones.

The big aerial signal comes to the kit box, and it re radiates the signal into the hand set where the phone sits.

No actual connection to the phone itself needed.

It is known as a passive connection, in phone talk land.
