Bluetooth for car (Q9H) - Motorola Q Forum

ninjaap · 07-01-2008, 06:57 AM

It's finally here... July 1, 2008; Hands-free law is finally in effect in California. So, I need one for my car. Not to leave anyone out, but I would like some advice from Q9H owners with experience using BT car speakerphones (not headsets or earpieces). I want to make sure I get one that has been proven to work with my phone. I'm looking for something under $100 and doesn't require installation. A simple speaker with a visor clip, like Moto T505, will do. Which is what I'm leaning towards so far. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I'm posting links to the ones I'm considering so others who are interested could follow along. Product info is from manufacturer's website. Prices are what I have seen advertised, mostly from Amazon. But please feel free to share if you see it anywhere cheaper.

Motorola MOTOROKR T505

Product info: http://www.store.motorola.com/mot/en...&catKey=601540
Price: $100-$140

Jabra SP5050

Parrot MINIKIT

I wanna keep this thread going for a week, or until I run out of recommendations from Q9H users, before I make my final decision. Thanks again.

Your best bet is the parrot system, but it costs around 120.00 I believe and needs installation. It is something that can be done without having to go to a store.

i was considering one for myself but hard to part with 100 bucks when i got a great BT headset

I'm looking at their website right now. They have a plug n play car kit section that doesn't require installation. Very promising...

That T505 is still a front runner for me... so far.

Which do you have exactly, how much, and where I can I get it for cheap?

well the thing is I have the iwa-200 (i think.) and I bought the adapter from ebay. it works nice. there is no wires sticking out and it works directly through the deck. so there is no muting and whatever not. I think the adapter is something like this http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/S...d/0/rid/123284
deck and adapter was 700 or something. adapter was only 100 usual price is 200
