Default Best way for handsfree

Can anyone suggest the best way to install handsfree for my mobile phone into my 2002 Xtype? I have the Alpine sound upgrade if that has any bearing..I don't really want anything obtrusive or on show and the easier to install, the better =) Thanks in advance

Whenever I've needed a handsfree I just put this thing called a Blue Ant into the car. It's cheaper than installing bluetooth into your car, it's got great sound quality and it's not too big. I've used them when I was commuting 3.5 hours a day last summer

thanks for the reply, still weighing up the options...although the clip-visor bluetooth kits are in the mix, depending on the cost of a pro fitted installation.

granger, I had one of these, but the problem is that caller can never seem to hear me. That's just me however, but if it's worked for you, I might have to give it another shot with a different brand. Do you have to hold the phone closer to your face to get the caller to hear you?

thx granger. I haven't seen anything like that over here (England) but I haven't got a mp3 / jack port so i think it's not a possibility anyway.
