Right, I suppose there was always going to be something missing and inevitably ,there is. :roll) It's the power cable for the cradle in the car. I already have a cradle for my I phone which has a USB port in it for running other things such as Sat Nav. I don't know what the connection to the cradle is called ie micro usb or HDMI etc. duh duh duh

So does anyone know what it is called. :-?

That one's called a mini USB LEs, but it's the wrong one anyway. The mini conn will only chrge the unit and won't activate the speaker/mic, that's built into it.

I think this is probably what you're after...

Car kit lead)

Have a look at the end on it and you should find a similar socket on the bottom of the mounting cradle (mine has at least). When that's plugged in, it'll bluetooth your mobile and give directions over the built-in speaker as you would want it :thumbsup)
Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.
