Hi All, Wifey has the stock Skoda Bolero radio which has a phone button and I've wondered if this means she can use a Bluetooth hands free phone? Some OE radios need you to buy expensive extra addons for these features. We shan't do that because replacing the head unit with something better from China is an option. Is there a cheap way to get easy and reliable hands free on these radios?  By easy I mean you jump in the car with your phone BT switched on and it pairs without much hassle?

I hit the radio button and scanned looking for Blue tooth but couldn't find anything.

 

Thanks for any help.

What year is her car?
Only if the car is bluetooth equiped. It was not a standard fitment. BT unit will be under the drivers seat.

Thanks, Nothing under the seat. Question still stands, what does everybody do if they want hands free? Aftermarket box, OE BT module install, or replace head unit with Chinese or Pioneer to get satnav, BT multiple media inputs and all the whistles and bells? I'd still want the radio steering buttons to work and from past experience, this can be a problem with the clone head units.

I've got some really cheap Chinese BT boards which I could patch into the radio Aux input. But having phone Contacts on the screen is very useful for hands free,
