[Q] Bluetooth Car Stereo

---

For now, I'm just looking for recommendations on what bluetooth head unit works good. I'm going to go shopping this weekend.

But feel free to post your happy/unhappy stories/reviews about bluetooth head units with the Captivate.

Thanks.

FWIW Only slightly related: my Ghetto setup with the MOTOROKR T505 worked good with Captivate, fast handshake as long as bluetooth left on all the time with both devices. But I now have decided I need native integration into an aftermarket stereo.

I have an older Pioneer and the A2DP works great for streaming music, system sounds, navigation, etcs.

Calling on the telephone works great, no issues here.

There are two single DIN units out for this year:

I'm going to try mine on my Sony BT2500 and I'll post back the results when I get a chance.

This is what I am using, and I get full features from mine.

Music controls on handset or deck both work (and remote).
Caller ID/Missed Call/Call log scrollable menu on deck screen.
BT phone audio through speakers with included in car mic.
Full audio volume control.
Charging from USB port (with regular USB cable, some companies like Alpine you need their specific cable) and thumb drive play capability.
3.5 aux jack

FH-P8000BT; Voice Dial

---

Has someone tried the Pioneer FH-P8000BT? I uderstand it's a nice option but don't know if it works ok with Galaxy S's.

Also, is any of the head units mentioned above able to dial by voice? Is it functional?

Thanks all who responded. That's good to know there's a few good options.
happy shopping to me!

I have mine paired to my Kenwood kdc-x993. Contacts automactically downloads to the radio and you can store 7 contacts for speed dialing. Supports a2dp, voice recognition dialing and SMS (haven't test that yet).

I have had the Pioneer FH-P8000BT for a year or so. I am transitioning from a Zune, and have found the BT audio to be good on the Captivate, and the utit itself matches the phone perfectly. I haven't played with calling too much, but it worked fine on a couple of WM phones that i used. It has a USB out in the back, but I have not yet tried plugging it in with a micro USB (I'm waiting for a right angle micro-USB cable so that its a little more low-pro).
