Re: Car stereo decks with built-in bluetooth for music and phone, need feedback

Heads up guys, i just installed the pioneer 7900bt and it's awesome.
I have the mic mounted on my steering column- you can barely see it (looks like a little odometer reset button).
Caller ID pops up as the number (i still haven't imported my phonebook for names)
The call audio sounds 9/10 on my end but about 7/10 on the other end. (not bad considering road noise at 75mph)
The A2DP sounds GREAT 10/10! I can't wait to plug in my slingbox again and get into a wreck while watching Tila Tequila!
People on the receiving end of the phonecalls said that they heard some crackling on occasion and that I voice was truncated from time to time (probably due to noise cancellation).
There are a lot of settings to tweak with including echo reduction and others, so I still need to dial it in.
My car is not loud in the cabin, but no Benz SL500 either.

The interface is pretty neat with joystick/knob control that has directional tilt as well as knob turning capability for volume.

So far I love it. Still need to set it up correctly to figure out the best angle for the mic ( i believe it's uni-directional)

$225 shipped from amazon seems like a way better investment than a $90 headset and a $150 ipod.

WMSirius WOHOO!!!
