hands-free car phone kit for the V40 S40-V40

Hi all,

I have a 2000 V40, and want to install a hands free cell phone system. I know Volvo makes a whole kit, but the dealer wants about $1500 for it (installed), and it wouldn't support any Sprint PCS phones. I have a Sprint PCS Samsung phone, and bought the Samsung hands-free kit.
The main issue is: how to best install the different components.
As for the phone itself, Volvo makes a palstic part that looks like an extension of the dash board, which attaches to the dashboard to the left of the glove box, and the phone is mounted on it. I got the part, but it came with no installation instructions, and I do not want to drill holes in the dash where there shouldn't be any. Does anybody know the correct way to mount that part?

As for the other components, I was thinking of mounting the speaker under the seat, the microphone in the top center of the windshield, with the wire going under the side panel, and the hub somewhere under the passenger side kick panel. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Ron
