MG Rover is modifying all Rover 75 and MG ZT models to make them compatible with 95% of hands-free mobile telephone systems. Its dealers are also offering a range of compatible phones.

By making the ‘hands free’ wiring part of the standard line build specification, installation of the cradle and microphone is reduced from two hours to 15 minutes. The initiative, developed with telephone accessory supplier Pama, allows MG and Rover customers to keep their current mobile phone.

MG Rover claims no other manufacturer currently offers this level of mobile phone compatibility

Four optional packages are available, priced between £229.99 and £299.99, including installation.
