I think your best solution would be a Parrot Bluetooth wired in kit. I have
a CK3300 that mutes the radio and uses the car's speakers. This works VERY
well with reliable voice dailing and voice control. The advantage is that
you are not limited to a certain make / model of phone. There is also no
need to have physical access to the handset as the Parrot has its own
display, just leave in your pocket or plug it into a car charger.
