Best Bluetooth Kit 07 MCS with Sat Nav

Hi guys, im looking to add a handsfree bluetooth kit to my Mini, I have a 07 MCS with the factory sat nav. No USB (if that makes a difference) What is the best kit that will integrate with the Nav screen and MFSW?

Thanks!

and while we're at it. I have the same 07 with MFSW and Nav, but I do have the factory bluetooth. I dont have the USB/Aux in.

I'd like to upgrade if possible as it sounds like poo.

Did later models get a different version?

I had a Parrot unit in my 2005 R50 and it was very good. As far as sound goes, I installed the Parrot mic above the drivers A pillar instead of trying to fiche it to the headliner above the rear view mirror (stock location).

Unless they have since changed things, on the Gen 1 the factory bluetooth mic was actually on the passenger side of the console above the rear view mirror (worked great for right hand drive).

I found a lot of great info at www.newministuff.com. They are in the UK and have custom plug and play wire harnesses to connect your kit to the radio without cutting wires. Worth every dollar in my opinion even with the exchange rate.
