hi grant, im in exactly the same position as you were and funnily enough im after the exact same car :) let me know how you got on and if you found a buyers guide as im going to look at a 53 X Type Sport this weekend and dont want to get caught out. i can personally vouch for the Parrot system, i had one installed to my 318Ci SE and it is brilliant! i shall be getting the same installed into my X Type if it doesnt have built in bluetooth. can anyone direct me to a buyers guide? thanks ERL
