I haven't read anything on that yet so i chalk it up to something is not setup correctly. I will keep you guys posted.

Taken from the XDA wiki

1. Finally, the case is just the opposite with TCPMP, which only supports WM2003SE devices, AVRCP-wise. It doesn’t work on WM2003 / WM5 devices at all.

It was pretty automatic but you do need to go to the bluetooth menu on the Sony decks and manually connect the Audio device.. It should already be there from pairing the phone but you still need to tell the deck to turn on the connection to the device.

My MEX-BT2500 connects to the Mogul by pressing button "6" on it. Its much more faster then going into bluetooth settings. I use PocketMusic as MP3 player. I can can change songs also with car stereo controls. One thing I miss is song's name through stereo's lcd screen

I have the Clarion FB275BT receiver (no cd player). I got this after I returned my sony xplode bluetooth receiver. The clarion uses normal buttons for AVRCP controls, not the preset numbers like the sony. Also, the clarion hits pause when i turn the car off i hated the sony because i would turn the car off, walk outside, and my damn internet radio is playing in my pocket. Thats a huge feature for me. This deck automatically connects the headset profile, but not the a2dp profile... currently looking for a solution for that.

Clarion FB275BT = $150 on crutchfield, white or black

I also have satellite radio (XM) and the ability to play mp3s via my head unit. As far as actually playing mp3s in the car, why take the time to transfer music to yet another medium (a CD) to do so. I like having all of my music in one place and portable, not duplicated on my Mogul, home computer, various CDs, etc...

I would love this feature but how would i look for it in a head unit? Is it only a clarion feature?

Also i am still looking for an answer on displaying track info on the head unit. Although i am starting to lean towards not currently possible.

[cuse94]

The Parrot MK6100 has a display that gives signal strength, connection indicator, call ID info, and battery level. Unfortunately no track/album/artist info. So I am also leaning towards not available. The Parrot does pause the current track when it disconnects, so not Clarion only feature.

i know there are alot of aftermarket radio manufactures that offer external components that can be plugged in effortlessly. computability is another issue though.

All I would want is a small BT receiver with a 3.5mm plug for output. I can plug that into the AUX-in on my stereo and be good to go. I've seen a few out there but they seem to all be a bit pricey ($75-100).

I use the Parrot PMK 5800. No involved setup at all. It links seamlessly via BT to the Mogul and then outputs the signal via an FM transmitter (fully tunable and quality comparable to wired output). Music pauses when a call comes in and the call is broadcast over the car's speakers. Also has a 3.5 jack for non-BT devices. Best of all, it plugs into your lighter socket and can be moved easily from car to car (I use it in 3 different cars...no wiring involved).
