Are you wondering what we do & how we do it??

We fit Handsfree Kits & Reversing Sensors but we also offer lots of other services which are detailed on our website www.mobilecarsolutions.co.uk but sometimes we need to answer more specific questions from you the customer. So I have listed below a few of the questions we often get asked, hopefully they will give you a better insight into our products & services.

Who are Mobile Car Solutions?
Lisa and Paul Carpenter started Mobile Car Solutions in March 2008, installing hands free mobile phone kits, tracking devices, reversing sensors and other in-car equipment. We founded Mobile Car Solutions because we wanted to better utilise Lisa’s excellent sales and customer service experience, and Paul’s technical expertise. Mobile Car Solutions is built on Lisa’s warm and bubbly personality and Paul’s technical skill.

Do you come to any home, or do I need a garage?
No, we come to any premises, and you don't need a garage. We bring our own tools and kit with us, so we can fit your hands free car kit (or sat nav, or whatever) efficiently and easily.

Are Mobile Car Solutions accredited by manufacturers?
Yes, we are a certified Parrot hands free car kit installer, and our engineer Paul is a Nokia accredited car kit installation engineer.

Do you install car multimedia systems?
Yes, we are happy to supply and fit in-car entertainment system, including car stereos, cd receivers, headset DVD / satellite tv screens, plus amplifiers and speakers if required. With a professional fitted car multimedia system, you need never hear those immortal words "Are we there yet?" again!

What area does your sat nav fitting service cover?
All our fitting and maintenance services for hands free car kits, sat nav a, and all our installations services are available throughout Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex, East Sussex, Wiltshire, and Berkshire. Even if you live outside these counties, give us a call on 023 9259 5175 and we'll quote you a price for installation at your home - the slight difference in our travel costs will probably be offset by your savings on taxi or bus costs to and from your local dealer!

Do you have any customer testimonials?
Lots! You'll find our customer reviews for our services website. We've called it that because we really do have lots and lots of happy customers, from the grandmother who wanted parking sensors fitted to completely kitting out a brand new Range Rover with the latest multimedia gear - for considerably less than the dealer quoted!

Do you fit immobilisers?
Yes, we only fit immobilisers on the Cat 5 vehicle tracking system, but not just individual immobilisers

I want to upgrade my mobile phone - can you help?
We can examine your current mobile phone contract and check if there is a better deal available for you, either from your existing supplier or with another. We have saved some customers hundreds of pounds, and got them better handsets in the bargain too!

I change my mobile phone every year, but I don't want to replace my hands free kit - what's the solution?
The Bury mobile phone cradle system offers interchangeable cradles for a wide variety of mobile phones. So, if you change your handset, just get the appropriate cradle and snap it into the hardwired dock - easy! Alternatively, look at our Bluetooth systems, which allow you to leave your mobile in your bag and just talk!

Where are you based?
Mobile Car Solutions are based in Horndean in Hampshire - but remember, we come to you.

Why should I hardwire my TomTom sat nav?
There are 2 types of hardwiriing solutions you can have :

1) Hardwire the existing cable so no unsightly leads trailing over your dashboard & still use the sucker pad on the window
2) You could have a Brodit charging cradle with new power lead which will fit onto a no holes bracket, leaving the original power lead & sucker pad to be used in another vehicle when required.

Reversing sensors take the pain out of parking

2010-09-30T13:58:00.000-07:00

We know that parking is probably not at the top of your list of things to worry about. However, if you are one of the millions of people in this country who have no access to off-street parking at home, then parking may be something of a painful subject. Trying to squeeze your car into a space just big enough to fit into can be tricky. Trying to parallel park your car between two others late at night on a dark road when you can’t properly see the cars in front or behind you can be stressful. Parking sensors can eliminate these problems and save you a lot of time and hassle.

Parking sensors work by making a beeping sound inside your car as you get close to objects – posts, and other cars – while parking in or vacating a space. The closer you get to an object, the faster the beeping noise. You can get rear-only sensors, or front and rear sensors, depending on your needs and vehicle type.

Our parking sensors enhance the safety of your vehicle as well by eliminating bumps and sharp braking when parking. This is particularly important when you have children in the car. Older drivers benefit from having sensors fitted as well, as it gives peace of mind when parking in busy areas or tight spaces.

We fit parking sensors all the time, for all kinds of people. Give us a ring today to find out if they are right for your vehicle, and our friendly staff will talk you through the options and help you to make a decision about which sensors are best for your needs.

The MKi9200 is a Bluetooth^® hands-free system. A wireless remote control can be positioned on the steering wheel or dashboard and allows the driver to control all the functions of the MKi9200.

In addition to conventional telephony functions, the Parrot MKi9200 boasts automatic phonebook synchronisation, voice recognition, contact management, call records, and so on.
