I was just wondering if someone with some EU road laws knowledge could help clear up a little question...

On my trip to sunny Spain coming up very soon, I thought I might have found a solution of having both all my bings and bongs for the euro cams going on - whilst having a happy wife at the same time!

My idea was to use my headphones wired upto my pda phone and have all my instructions & euro warnings coming out in my ears - thus not disturbing the dvd viewing & sleep (wifes) in the early hours.

My question is - ``Is it legal in the EU to have my ears wired up to a pda running satnav equipment ? `` - im not even sure if its legal to have an mp3/ipod wired into the ears or not whilst driving - however its a sight i see all the time on the roads.

Thanks
MPW

Depending upon which PDA you are using it might be possible to route the TT audio to a bluetooth headset, I have done this in the past and its a simple reg edit to get working, something like changing LaunchAppEnable from a 0 to 1, this is detailed somewhere on the forum, but will depend upon your PDA.

Driving with wired headphones is certainly not something I would consider - Mike
