I've had this little chap for a week now and I must say I'm quite impressed with it. But, then again, I'm easily pleased.

I think I'd want to add this (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-5mm-Jack-Female-to-Male-Headphone-Stereo-Audio-Extension-Cable-Cord-SHR-Z0HWC/293005365751?hash=item44387b11f7:g:LqQAAOSwvKtY-EBN) so it's not sticking out the dash, likely to get snapped off :-\
I've got bluetooth built into my 7" touchscreen ,(with bucket avoidance rear camera ;D ) but don't answer the phone while driving ,what ever it is ,they will call back or leave a message , (or phone 999 if it really is that urgent)
anything else can wait till I put the wiggle stick into P
P = Phone calls allowed

Being a touch screen, it is technically hands free, and unlike the parrot screen, you can actually see who's calling :y

A very short extension lead came with it, so it doesn't stick out, as you say. In astra J the aux socket is in a little cubbyhole, so it rests nicely in there.

The original radio gramophone wax cylinder player ccr2006 :-\ had a box of tricks behind that,that made it hands-free , with a socket in the center console to plug the phone into
I didn't use that either ;D
though i do plug my phone into it to charge up

Yeah, those newer BT adapters are getting pretty good, esp if they (and the phone) use later BT standards for better audio quality. The Hifi buffs will scorn, but a car is hardly the ideal listening environment.
