Is there a recommended in car solution for the iphone - I want to use it as a bluetooth device to play music and answer phone calls through my existing car stereo speakers without having to plug an adapter or cable into my iphone every time I get in the car
I have seen the following:
-IO Play
-Parrot Rhythm n'Blue car stereo
-Parrot ck3100
I have a Parrot ck3100 fitted in my 8 seater vw transporter. works 100% with the iphone for making calls and receive them. but you cannot stream audio though,
i have order a ipod adapter, plug into my avic-xr1 sort of daisy chain setup, this will change the iphone as well,
there are fm transmitter you can use , but they are illegal
Regulations to legalize the use of certain types of FM transmitter came into force on 8 December 2006. From the end of 2006 the iTrip and other FM transmitters can be used without license in the United Kingdom. To be legal, it must carry a CE mark which indicates their approval for sale in the European Union. Some FM transmitters have been manufactured for sale and use specifically in the US. These devices do not carry a CE mark and will remain illegal to use in the UK.
O PLAY has been developed to work with the iPhone™, you can connect and integrate your iPhone Music and Phone functions simultaneously and wirelessly into your vehicle using Bluetooth® technology.
with the iO-BTAPOD Adaptor
Adaptor for wirelessly streaming your music tracks through your iO PLAY from your iPod or iPhone into all of your existing vehicle speakers with excellent sound quality
but it does not charge the iphone as well, thats the downside
the Sony Mex bt2500 won't work with the iPhone bluetooth audio streaming because in the spec's its a2dp and its common in all Bluetooth audio device from headsets to car muti medias devices
apple is controlling the a2dp profile,
