I've got a CK3100 installed via the phone connector in a '98 MFL. It works well enough.

I have 3 Nokia CK-7W kits, even with the cable to connect to the car (in case of the Omegas), none cost me more than £25 delivered from eGay). Omega has a convenient mounting point above passenger kick panel as well.

Last one I fitted was to my Elite - start to finish was under 30mins ;)

If its a prewired car (factory fit GSM aerial on roof), it has a proprietry 16 pin connector taped up above glovebox that provides power, access to in-car mic and audio in/mute to radio
