Bluetooth Carkit Advice

[Shaun Stuart]

I am looking for a bluetooth carkit for my XDA2 - I know that I can buy one that will connect through the car stereo but I was wondering whether there are any available that will allow music to be played from the XDA through the car stereo.

Thanks

I don't think there's anything on the market that will do this - you'd need a car stereo with bluetooht built in, and there aren't any yet, as far as I know. :(

I think the closest you can get at the moment would be a mini pc (like this one (http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/handhelds/5d5b)) jacked into the car's RCA input, with a usb bluetooth dongle. You should then be able to establish a bluetooth connection to the mini pc with the xda2, and use a program like Vinyl (http://www.pocketwerks.com/) to control the output from the xda2.

Note: I haven't done this, and I think it would be overkill AND expensive, but you'd get geek points for doing it... :wink:

Here is one that I was looking into for my T68i. It's the Sony Ericsson HCB-30 Bluetooth Car Kit (http://www.expansys.us/product.asp?code=PAR_CK3000). It works pretty good from what I understand.
