I ended up going with the MEX-BT2500 (http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=158MEXBT25&tp=5684). It seems like it has all the goodies I'm looking for.. Only $129!!! for Bluetooth hands-free/a2dp streaming... mp3 cd's and all those other formats... and satellite interface hookup... and the add-on XM tuner was like 29.99 after rebates and discounts... wooh!

Hope it doesn't suck ... lol

I've had a MEX-BT5000 for more than a year now, and have used it with both Wizard & Kaiser devices. Its handsfree performance is very good; better than any headset I've used. BT stereo performance is pretty good. I've had some problems with multiple programs using BT audio (e.g. nav & streaming audio), but I think that's more of a WM/device problem.

What a frustrating zoo this has been... I ended up having to cancel the order for the 2500 and go with the MEX-BT5000 instead... the 2500 didn't have any preamp outputs! That simply won't do...

Liked the BT5100 but apparently there are no firmware updates for the XM Radio adapter yet... I still need my XM as primary source of music because streaming just really isn't all that reliable all the time due to network coverage while driving...

Hope the BT5000 is good.. got it for $199 plus shipping so not too bad.

I had one, it was nice. Now I have a JVC KD-AVX33 that's leaps and bounds better!

leaps and bounds better in what area?

EDIT:

ahh nevermind that thing is like twice the cost lol... was looking for something in a lower price range that had all the functionality I was looking for.
