Yes i also bought the Advanced mute kit
The advanced mute kit works well but the only problem with it is that it completly mutes the audio.

Is this advanced mute kit a SE product? Do you have a model number for it? |

Can't remember the part # and even SE don't list it!
You can find it at this page though. -

Just thought I'd post a follow up. I purchased the HCB-30 bluetooth car kit, and installed it myself in my Audi TT. I put the microphone in the OEM location, which is a behind a small grille 6" aft of the rear view mirror, mounted the supplied speaker in the passenger footwell, and the control box under the dash on the drivers side, just above the dead pedal. All are completely hidden from view. The only visible part of the system is the samll control switch, which is on the dash just above the stereo. I took pictures but I'm not sure how to post them.
I'm happy to report that the system works very well; there is no audible echo and minimal background noise. The controls are easy to use and voice dialling works great. It would be nice to have caller ID announced, but from other posts here it seems that's not possible.
The only criticism I have is that switching phones is a pain. One of the reasons I wanted a bluetooth kit is that my wife always leaves her phone in her purse, then swerves all over the road trying to get to it when it rings. I assumed that once her phone was paired with the system, it would automatically connect whenever she used my car. Not true; if the kit was last connected to my phone, it looks for that phone and ignores hers (even though both phones are paired). To connect her phone, it's necessary to go into the bluetooth setup menu on the phone and tell it to connect to the HCB-30. Needless to say, she's not going to go through this every time she uses my car... |

Black Box (need to tidy up the wiring)
