Hello all.
I’m old, very old, and quite hard of hearing …. WTF did you say?
Here is the problem. My 2006 NC 2.0lt Sport has no in car satnav.
So I plug in my TomTom, new last year, which works fine in my other car, not a soft top. Two things. 1. I can hear a bloody thing from it. 2. It’s crap in the sunlight so I can barely see it also.
Ok, so I turn to my I-phone mini 13, 9 months old. I can see it, but I still can’t hear it very well.
Questions. Is there a way for me to Bluetooth it to a device I can shove in my ear which will let me hear the Google Maps directions?
Or.
Do I have to buy a satnav to somehow work with or replace my Bose sound system. This has a 6 CD unit which I very much want to keep.
Ive just git into CD’s from using my wind up gramophone.
Any help, with the above, nothing else thank you, will be much appreciated.
Regards. Rich.

Cheapest option, get yourself some Bluetooth earbuds. Connect to iPhone and listen to Google maps with that

Brilliant! Thank you so much.
Any suggestions as to a good make. Quality is way more important to me than price.
Regards. Rich.

Does the Nc not have an Aux input hidden somewhere?This might work, you need to check the model number of your head unit, etc. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131903652183

I like good earbuds (not the crap Apple/iPhone things...) because they reduce noise entering your ear, therefore mean you are less likely to go deaf(er ) and you can listen to music at a lower volume, also saving your hearing. You do lose some of the quiet sounds, though, so I tend to only wear them on higher speed stuff, never round town where people and bikes do dumb things near vehicles. If you are already stone deaf and need to keep your ear canals open, look at the AfterShokz (might just be Shokz now) Bone Conduction headphones. (Avoid chinese copies as they seem to be extremely variable in quality LoL.) It is weird how they work, but they leave your ears open to hear normally. I use them for work calls at home sometimes so I can keep an ear out for other people in the house. The did a wired version (the AS451 IIRC) but they are unobtanium now apart from eBay, but the bluetooth version I've got seems very reliable and the quality is good. I imagine you'd be able to bluetooth link them to your phone and then use it that way, and they'd also function as a headset/mic for calls (although I can't attest to the mic quality at speed, haha).

You can fit an aux into the standard CD player if it doesn't have a cd changer I think, then you could fit a Bluetooth dongle to that, for a more permanent solution.
Or you could always fit a double din stereo for an even more permanent solution.
