I am thinking about picking up a Nokia car kit ( Nokia CARK-91US ). Does anyone have one of these or something similar, and do they like it? Also, any recomendations for external antennas? I was hoping for a glass mount so I dont have to put holes in anything or worry about a magnet mount flyin off.
Did you install it yourself and how hard was it? Ideally, I would like the ignition and radio mute features to work.
My wife has a gnarly commute in this car, occasionally has house calls to rural areas, and occasionally gets re-dispatched by phone. I don't want her to be out of communication in case she needs help or they need her.
Thanks for any help and advice.

I just received my Hirschmann kit today:

But not sure when I'll have a chance to install it.

I used to have a CARK-91 when using my old Nokia 7160. The kit is amazing, and the audio mute feature worked perfectly. The Motorola kit I have now for my new T720 is complete trash. Where someone used to be able to hear me clearly on the highway with the nokia, I can now barely have a conversation on city streets.

A good place to order the kit from is http://www.discountcell.com - I've ordered most of my phone accessories from them. As far as antennae go, find a good dual-band antenna. The aforementioned place should have them relatively cheap (~$30).

A few direct links:

CARK-91 $100: [url=http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/bb,asp,e_N7160,pi_cark91,1c,p.htm[/url]

dual-band antenna $35: [url=http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/bb,asp,e_MT720,pi_APDM927T,1c,p.htm[/url]

EDIT: UBB hates links that don't conform to standards of 80 years ago, so you'll have to copy and paste.
