I need an amplified mount to put my iPAQ 2210 into an Audio A4. Having read the reviews, I cannot decide between the Brodit and Arkon units. Any thoughts?

Get a Brodit, Arkon are nowhere near as good quality. You owe it to your Audi and the result will be an OEM quality install
I have a Brodit 2210 Amplified Mount, see here. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Darren
Out of interest, what does the third switch do on your dashboard below the rear wiper switch? Turn the motorway on and off? |

That's the 'Motorway Stealth' switch Actually it arms/disarms the cruise control. Being a 4x4 they think it wise to have the option of de-activating the steering wheel cruise controls so that when off road in the rough you don't accidentally activate it at an innapropriate moment! _________________ Darren Griffin |

Darren,
Many thanks as always for your response. As I want to buy TomTom Nav 5 with the Traffic option (when it comes out!), I will also have a fitting for my Nokia 6310i. This is making me think that it may be best going down another route. From previous postings by DavidW and A4ACE, I was tempted to investigate the QuBit option. I subsequently rang Nemesis to ask if they had an installer in Hampshire. Having been promised a call back, I never heard from them again. I then contacted the garage that sold me the car last year (Audi Southampton) and they suggested Motronics. These guys were very helpful but they suggested a Parrot unit. However, the various reviews on the web are not positive. Too many decisions!
