I'm on a cost saving theme spec'ing a new 320ed. As it's a company car on a lease deal I have to contibute monthly to options over the pre-set monthly total.

I'll specify the USB/audio interface and Hi-fi loudspeaker system (which I believe includes an amp in the rear but isn't the top of the range harman/kardon).

My query is that If I drop the bluetooth handsfree option, saving £200, and fitted a Parrot CK3000 (about £65 cost) without the Connects2 lead would this give me handsfree without steering wheel buttons or will there be problems?

If your cost saving, buy the 318.
Nothing much in it, but better economy and less tax.

Yes, I could go for the 316, but the 320ed (the efficient dynamics version) is the lowest tax and highest efficiency, and I'm doing iro 20k personal miles per year.
