Looking for a new car stereo to connect to my phone.

[theblueirish]

Hi All,
Need a new stereo for the van, I would like it to connect to my Samsung Galaxy Ace so I can take calls when driving.

I have been looking at these:

Sony DSX-A50BT Bluetooth Digital Media Reciever USB Aux-in Car Stereo (NO CD) | eBay

Pioneer MVH-350BT Car Stereo WMA MP3 WAV USB Bluetooth iPod Aux-in Android Ready | eBay

I can connect my phone by bluetooth but will the stereo need a mic connected?

Any one any other ideas?

Thanks

Hi mate,
I'd consider this as a very cheap and non intrusive option

just hook up this device to your phones stereo jack and tune into the device via your built in radio system in the car.

It's meant to listen to music off your phone but my mate has one of these where the phone is mounted on to the gizmo that prevents the sun getting into yer eyes (you know the one i'm on about) so the person on the other end can hear you too!

hope this helps

You don't really need a new stereo (unless you want one for other reasons)

The one CrazyFool has suggested will just allow you to play music, won't do anything for receiving calls, plus I have one and its a pain and doesn't get great signal.

I had one of these before I got a car which already had bluetooth in:

press a button, say who you want to call approve it (via speech and away you go), reception is pretty good as is battery life.

Alternatively you can get a Parrot, but will cost a lot more and your pretty much into the realms of a new stereo anyway.
