Need BT A2dp reciever advice

[interestingfellow]

I can't find a simple friggin BT A2DP reciever for my application.....

I want to be able to listen to music and calls over BT plugged into the auxillary port on my van's stereo head unit. I need a BT reciever with a 3.5mm output: I have found the opposite (a transmitter to plug into your mp3 player). I don't need LCDs and buttons and controls, etc.

And if I buy a A2DP headset (speakers only), how does WM use a mic during a phone call? Does it use the phone's mic, or will it just not let me use it as a handsfree for phone calls?

TIA!

That was actually on of the units I was looking at.
Will that run plugged into the charger? I know alot of BT stuff disconnects while charging. I would prefer to just leave it plugged into the charger (turns on and off with the ignition).

Thanks!

If its A2DP only, WM will route all aspects of the call back to the phone, so you'll have to either hold your head to the phone, or use speaker phone... but either way no phone call sound will come from your van, except for the initial ringing.

Actually, when I have my DS200 plugged into my 5.1 surround, I can call people AND hear them through the speakers, suggesting that you do hear people. Am I right in thinking your van will be the same concept?

And yes, you can have it plugged in and running simultaneously

All right, I am not the only one who is looking for the solution.

I searched ebay thoroughly and asked sellers the same question about running while plugged into the charger. Got the same answer - 'no'. If it is not a mandatory feature, you may try ebay, DX for cheaper (within $15) solution.

At some point, I was also looking for an MP3 player which turns on-off with ignition and has an audio out. FM transmitter delivers very poor performance, as it is impossible to find an unused frequency for a trip as short as 30min. I was out of luck there. Then I thought about BT solution. Nothing good there. Now I use a used WM Standard phone (bought from, again, ebay for ~$7). Of course, it has to be manually turned on and the unit has scratches all over, but the S/W features and sound quality are awesome.

That's b/c the DS200 is not A2DP only, it also supports the handsfree protocol. Certain receivers are aimed at only transmitting music, and thus they only support A2DP. If he wants calls to go through the speakers on his van, he should avoid those types of receivers.
