C5 Hands Free

[Tonyc5]

Hi Guys I have just purchased a c5 2006 1.6 VTX+ Nav , I love it, it has hands free but I have to keep removing my sim card from my phone and placing it in the head unit, which is most inconvenient, is there any way of up grading it to work via Bluetooth,

 

also I have one more question my sat nav wont accept post codes can this be upgraded at all to accept post code searches.

 

Thanks in advance

I have no idea about bluetooth but not accepting post codes seems to apply to all Citroen sat navs. We have a 2007 C5 vtx with the sat nav and I usually start with the town, then the street and then ok it. If just going somewhere I already know, I still often put in a town and ok it without bothering with a street just to see if the roads have a reported delay and these are then shown on the map.

I use a dedicated sim card on a PAYG tariff, and set my mobile to forward to the car phone if not answered. That has the added benefit of displaying all incoming call numbers, which the main unit doesn't do (can't display land line numbers)

 

I use the car phone to make calls. 

 

There are bespoke bluetooth options (Dension etc), but they involve MP3 readers which use the cd multichanger slot, quite fiddly to fit 

 

The sat nav falls a long way short of modern units - i use a Garmin ( recently posted a report on this)
