Hey all,

I am seeking advice for my audio situation in my 2006 Acura TL w/ Navi. Basically, I am looking to be able to stream audio (music and internet radio) to the car stereo while at the same time retaining the ability to use the Handsfree Link for calls.

I have been searching around and I know some people use the Blackberry Stereo Gateway, but I am not sure how that set-up is. From what I think I understand, the Stereo Gateway plugs into my iPhone 4 via AUX and then streams a bluetooth signal to the HF Link.

If my understanding is correct, does the Stereo Gateway allow me to listen to my music when wanted, and when I receive a call, I am able to use the HF Link functionality in the TL?

Hopefully that wasn't too confusing. I really would love to look into the iSimple, and I still may, but I would prefer not to tamper with the car since it's not a car that I'm keeping forever...

Thanks for the help!

 

The Handsfree link will only allow you to make calls.

The Blackberry Stereo Gateway is a bluetooth reciever that plugs into an Aux input, (standard on 07/08, would need to be added by iSimple or other device for 06). The iPhone streams wireless to the Blackberry gateway without requiring anything plugged into it.

For a 2006, if you want wireless, you'll either need to add a aux input or put up with hooking the gateway up through the cassette deck (hardly ideal).

 

Thanks for clarifying
