Has anyone seen this? it looks really cool and is an addon to the factory radio. Provides A2DP for streaming music from phone. Only concern I have is that I already have bluetooth on my radio and would like to just keep that one and not use this unit to answer calls. You can also play media off of usb drive which is a big plus for me. Anyone have any experience with it? It looks pretty good:

I don't have experience with it, but as far as BT goes, I don't think phones can differentiate to only talk thru one BT device and do A2DP to another device.

Since your stereo doesn't do A2DP, might as well use this (or a Parrot) for all phone-BT features.

But I could be wrong () as a phone can pair with multiple BT devices simultaneously

 

You're looking at almost $200 to do the bluetooth with that device, since you need to buy the bluetooth dongle as well.

You could, alternatively, pick up something like this:


For $160, and when you buy the radio you get the trim kit for another $100 (combo deal from crutchfield), and the metra axxess aswc steering wheel control adapter for about $45, and have something that doesn't depend on the weak, fragile, factory system that also does USB, iPod, A2DP and bluetooth hands-free in a single unit, all for about $300.

 

I just bought a Parrot Mki9200 and harness adapter for $250, ebay baby.

 

Thanks for the suggestion wrathernaut but i had a double din before in my 04 and i just didnt like the slightly off finish. so i decided to keep the factory crap unit and try to spruce it up as much as i could but keep the finish.

in regards to the bluetooth, i have a iphone4 and i paired it with a head set as well as the car. i would listen to music on my headset and then have a call come in, when it rang, i was able to press the answer button on the steering wheel and the car would take over totally flawlessly. So i will be getting this unit. I will let you guys know how it turns out.

 

Please do, good to know of other bluetooth A2DP options
