BT Car Stereo (Sony MEX-BT2500)

[collindv]

I am looking to purchase a bluetooth enabled head unit for my car in the near future. Specifically I have my eye on the MEX-BT2500 from Sony: (http://review.zdnet.com/in-dash-rece...-32369072.html)

My requirements are hand-free calling and A2DP streaming. I am interested in this line from the review:

"One of the limitations of the MEX-BT2500's hands-free calling interface is that it cannot be used to place outgoing calls other than redialing a connected cell phone's last number. The principle purpose of the system, therefore, is to accept incoming calls."

Does this mean I cannot initiate calls via the head unit over MS voice command? Technically my Motorola H350 BT headset "cannot be used to place outgoing calls other than redialing a connected cell phone's last number" either, but I can still use it to initiate voice command at the touch of a button.

Anyone have any experience with this stereo, or any others that might meet my criteria?
