OK, I have my HCB-300. First thing I noticed was that the controller module is really small, like the size of a matchbox. That surprised me, but in a good way.

Second thing was, my car, an Opel (or Vauxhall) Zafira, is not pre-wired for a handsfree. The stereo wiring seems simple enough, but does anyone have any advice on where I should tap into the electrical system to power the unit? I need to find 12v constant power and an ignition-sense line, and am deeply unsure about where to look. I'm tempted to try to piggy-back on the power to the stereo, but don't know if that's a good idea. The stereo is a Siemens CDR-500.

TIA!
