while i'm on a bluetooth posting spree I was curious on everyone's opinion on these two bluetooth car kits:


This is the nokia one

To my knowledge I haven't seen this one released in the US, but what looks pretty cool about it is there is a mini lcd to see who is calling

The next one is the new motorola one:

Haven't done my complete analysis of both.. but i'm wondering if anyone has had experience with any.

 

I'm getting the Moto BLNC IHF1000 installed this weekend. I've run tests on a Nokia 6230 and all key functionality works. The only feature that I have yet to get working is for it to tell me that a voicemail has arrived. Other than that, all features (basic & extended) appear to work.

I'm still not positive where I want to install the control unit itself... on the front of the arm rest, or mount it in the NOT AN ASHTRAY.

 

Just curious, will you be tapping into your car audio to output the voice of the caller or will you use their speaker they give you?

And there's something I've never thought about with a car kit. Will you be answering all the calls since your phone could potentially not be in viewing range (can't see the caller id probably)?

 

I'll be using the shipped speaker, for two reasons: 1. The shipped speaker sounds great. 2. It seems like too much of a hassle to tap it into the speaker leads. Additionally, I'm afraid of adding noise to the signal path by screwing with tapping wires.

Regarding caller ID -- this is one of the PRIMARY reasons why I went with the IHF1000 -- because it speaks out the caller ID info when someone calls! So, no guesswork required. Oh sure, it'd be great if it tried to pronounce the name in the caller ID, but I'll take the #. That may be all BT supports anyway.

FYI - I do plan on running the mute line to the TSX stereo, so things will mute when a call comes in or when I make an outgoing call.

Here's some more info about how it works when placing a call (3rd post):
