What N73 car kit are you using?

I am struggling to find a car kit for my N73.

All I want is something that positions the phone where I can see it and reach the keypad (for sat nav), feeds the audio through the stereo speakers, and charges the phone (I cannot use a std car charger because the power socket is hidden away inside the ashtray).

Does such a thing not exist?

CK-7W is the kit i use for my N73. Charges and allows you to connect either with cable or use blootooth. Need to buy the cradle for the N73 (Nokia CR-39). it is like a PDA crade as Nokia dont have a cradle specifically for the N73. Also means if you want to plug it in to charge etc, you have to do it seperately. Also allows you to listen to music player through the car speakers!
keep an eye out for the new nokia CK-20W also.

CK-7W is also the one I use. Works fine and it is possible to connect to both the Bluetooth carkit and the Bluetooth GPS receiver at the same time. It never drops the connection.

Concerning the holder, it's aburd that Nokia does not provide a decent powered car holder. Fortunately, BRODIT just released the N73 holder. It's available in three versions:
1. Passive holder (not powered, just holder)
2. Active holder (with built-in plug to charge the phone)
3. Holder for cable connection (this directly connects to the CK-7W carkit without bluetooth)
