Hello, I just recently built myself a GPS/MP3 setup for my car which includes a bluetooth enabled 3800 iPAQ hooked up to a 20 GB HD through PCMCIA and to a GPS receiver. I use the setup to listen to my MP3 collection and at the same time for navigation purposes. Now my question is, is there a way I can have the iPAQ mute the sound (MP3s and voice commands running into car stereo with subwoofer through a aux input adapter) when the Sony t68i rings or when I make a phone call? I would like this to work completely transparent. Basically, I should be able to get into the car and the iPAQ should recognize the cell phone and then listen for it until it rings and then mute the sound coming out of the iPAQ. Any ideas?

Man does this sound cool...Wow! I can't answer your question, but I sure am jealous. I'm still trying to figure out how to get an MP3 to play on my 5455. (Any thoughts would be appreciated).

You should document this (with pictures). I'm sure the others would love to see this.

David,

I don't think so. One might be able to write a 3rd-party program to poll the T68i to see what its status is, and then to adjust the volume accordingly, but I've not seen any such program on the market.

Alright, when I get some time I'll take some photos and maybe put up a little page detailing this setup.
