I am in Australia and would like to be able to find somewhere with the Car Cradle HCH-66 in stock. (Preferably in Sydney)
Does anyone know who would stock them or better still a good Sony Ericsson stockist that keeps all their new gear.
I hope someone can help me! (Expansys has some but when you order them they always say they are out of stock and will be 4 days or more!)
Thanks in advance
Matt

Mm, I second that motion!

I too am keen for an easy solution to link this baby up to my car stereo!

I have a HCH-60, but I'm sorry to say that it's far from the stability and reliability that the holder for my K700 had. The charger cable and the earphone cable has a very loose fit, and gets disconnected from the phone very easily. I have it mounted on the dashboard to the right of the steering wheel and it's very easy to touch the cables by mistake when I insert the ignition key. Many times when the phone rings and I press the answer button on the headphone, nothing happens except that the phone keeps on ringing, since the contact is not entirely connected. This holder, HCH-60 is some kind of universal holder, and that's a good thing, since I will probably not have to buy a new one for the next phone, (as long as it's a with fastport) as I had to when I replaced my T39 by my K700, and then the K700 by the K800. But still, the K800 does not seem to sit very "secure" in this holder.

Are you aware of this?:

Sony MEX-BT5000 A2DP Car Audio


It has the features of the HCB-700 plus you can bring up playlist selections on the headunit display, make you choice, and stream music in stereo from the K800 (and other A2DP mobiles) without even touching the phone.

A noise cancelling mic is mounted in the faceplate.

I'm still searching for a supplier downunder.

I got my new K800i today and have previously used a K700i with the appropriate car holder and the plug in handsfree kit. HCQ-30. Obviously the HCQ-30 has the old style SE connector. Does anyone know what connector is on the underneath of the HCH-66?

Will I need to buy a new car kit or is there a pin to pin adaptor available?
