From engadget...

"Think you can handle one more iPod rumor? No? Well, this might be a good time to discover the scroll wheel on your mouse. Ok, for everyone still reading this, Mac4Ever is reporting that a Motorola product manager in France has “accidentally” confirmed that Apple is going to introduce an iPod with built-in Bluetooth (ostensibly for wirelessly streaming audio to your car stereo or something along those lines). This comes in addition to all the other gossip lately that Apple is going to unveil a new 5GB or 6GB iPod mini (possibly with a color LCD screen) and may or may not be rolling out new versions of the 20GB and 40GB iPods that come in the iPod mini colors. Not sure we’re feeling this latest one (as much as we’d love to see more MP3 players with Bluetooth), but the one thing we do know is that whenever the Apple rumor mill starts grinding ‘em out all fast and furious like this it usually means that there is something big on the way."

I know, unlikely the TL will support this.

 

Even with ipod BT, it wouldn't help since it would only play using the front speaker + there would not be a headset profile and I can't image how to dial etc to it.... I used to do some programming, but I can't figure out a logical way to connect our BT to the iPod BT... If ipod has a BT, it would have to be with the BT headphone or sumthing...

 

We would need another BT profile, or there would be some type of adapter.

 

Could this be the adaptor...... hmmmm.

Abe BT 80C Bluetooth Stereo Cassette

OH. MY. GOD. Three words for you: Bluetooth Stereo Cassette. What we’re talking about it is the Abe BT 80C, an audio cassette adapter that you can pop into your car’s tape deck and stream music to from your Bluetooth-enabled MP3 player, handheld, or PC. Obviously not as simple as that, since not every Bluetooth gadget supports the A2DP, or Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, that this thing uses to stream in stereo, but we so like where this is all going.

 

well..... no bluetooth ipod. DAMN!

 

Stupid question, but is the sound quality we'd want possible over bluetooth?

 

They already came out with tape adapt. with built-in bluetooth inside. No sound test yet, but well see what happens in the near future.

sound would be good as bluetooth has a pretty good overall datarate ...

 

If the sound quality of my phone is any indication I will take a serious pass on this one!!

Also I would imagine there will be interference from the existing bluetooth phone that is already operating in the vehicle. I do have to admit that the bluetooth tape adapter is a cool idea, but I would defintely save the receipt to allow for adaquate testing.
