Looking for a good aftermarket car stereo to use with Titan bluetooth

[HayireII]

I'm considering putting a new stero in the car but if I do I want to get one with bluetooth that will work with my XV6800. Does anyone out there have one that they are happy with? Handsfree dialing, access to contacts and streaming MP3s to the stereo would all be nice features to have.

Me and my wife have the Sony BT2600 each. Reasonably priced below 200 and will bluetooth phone and stream audio as well (she has the Instinct and I have the htc 6800). You can't upload contacts to the radio but it will use the voice tags stored on your phone. The radio has a built in mic with abilty to adjust mic level from low to high. I love when I stream mp3's/listen to radio stations, the radio cuts to the phone and then resumes when u hang up. The phone's ringtone doesn't play through the speakers. Instead, a series of beeps play through the speakers alerting you to the call.

My wife's phone/audio connects to the radio automatically when her stereo is on. Mine, however, will connect the phone automatically, but I have to manually connect the bluetoothed audio. Not a problem though, all I have to do is press button 6 on the stereo and it will automatically connect the last device. For a budget stereo, I don't know what I'd do without it : )

Best Buy does have some Bluetooth stereos (that's where I got ours) but beware. Some stereos are bluetooth ready and need an adapter/accessory to bring bluetooth functionality to the stereo.

I had read a few reviews of the Sony units where people say that people they are talking to through the stereo couldn't hear them well. Some of them thought it was because of the placement of the microphone on the stereo. Do you not have any issues talking to people through yours?
