I have been installing a hands free kit in my new Fabia vRS SE. The electrical side is done but I am having trouble mounting the bracket for the craddle. I ordered a bracket from

car phone brackets: nokia car kits, car phone installation: Bluetooth hands free: Parrot Bluetooth handsfree part number 71086. There is a number 1086 stamped on the bracket so I pressume I have the correct one. The instructions say:-

1. Unclip the left side moulding on the centre console fascia.

2. Locate the bracket with the torx screw in the top of the recess.

3. Refit the panel.

I just can't get the hole in the bracket to line up properly with the torx screw, so that when I tighten the screw the bracket is at an angle preventing me from re-fitting the plastic moulding. Has anybody else used these brackets by dashmount?

Hi,

Sorry to hijack you're thread, but I'l just bought a Fabia vRS. Haven't even collected it yet, but have been looking into getting a car kit. I've ordered the Brodit car mount, but not sure what option to go for with the cradle? The cigarette lighter option isn't going to be very neat, can I as how you did it?

Thanks in advance.

Yep, I used a Dashmount in my first Fabia. I'm using a Brodit this time round.

I got mine fitted fine. It's a bit vague now, as this was over 2/5 years ago, but I may have had to bend the mount slightly with some pliers, to get the angle right. I'd say get the hole in the bracket lined up, then see what angle the mount is sitting at. Then adjust accordingly. But they do work, I can tell you that much. Either than or you've somehow got a duff one. But I find that unlikely.

Good luck

Steve
