iPhone Carphone Kit

I already have an old Nokia docking cradle and bluetooth (which syncs fine). Just trying to change the cradle for one that powers an iPhone. Carkit.ie quoted MKi9100 for €329 seems OTT for me. Units that connect directly to the cigarette ligher won't work in this car. Has anyone got a simple cradle with iPhone power…

Has anyone got a simple cradle with iPhone power connection recently? How much and who installed?

All you need is a holder and a USB charger in the ciggie slot. Not as neat as a dedicated kit. But vastly cheaper.

Thanks. All the answers are here.

Active cradle with 2A lead for permanent installation. Connection anything to the cig lighter in an audi would be a mess
