radio bluetooth vs headset/kit
hey, i currently have a stock radio and a sucky bluetooth headset. I was looking at the pioneer head units with built in blue tooth or alpine without. Wondering how those radio bluetooths work? Do they work well, are they loud enough? My headset barely has enough volume for me to use it while driving and i have a stock exhaust. I am thinkint it might just be a crappy headset but who knows. Let me know what you guys are doing and how you like it. Maybe i should get a new gps with bluetooth on it, i dunno, i would like to consolidate some devices, but i want them to work well.
thanks

I had the Alpine bluetooth addon. While it works just fine, my car was too loud (not stock exhaust). To be able to hear anyone I had to turn it up so loud that everyone complained about being able to hear themselves. They could all hear the car too. I eventually got rid of it and just use a headset, but I got a pretty decent headset (I think). The Pioneer/Alpine setup is much more convenient though.

I have a kenwood headunit and bluetooth addon. With the mic placed above the steering wheel (can't hardly see it), people have no trouble hearing me and I have no trouble hearing them as it is through the stock speakers. Definitely suggest it to anyone on the phone while driving.

I have one of the Pioneers and a friend has one in his stock forrester also. I can hear him great, he says people usually say it is the best he sounds. For me people always complain that they can't hear me, but I'm always on the highway and mine is mounted on the headliner touching the windshield, so that may have something to do with it.
I don't like to talk on the phone in the car either way, so for me its win win

i have a separte bluetooth unit made by motorola that i installed, it works perfect, is perfect sound (and i have hks ti exhaust) and no one complains about it, if you install a aftermarket headunit you can just splice into the harness to install the bluetooth, here is a link to my installation, take a look for your self

^ New pioneer Avic series come with voice static correction (not sure if this is the name of it). It basicly focuses on your voice and cancels any static or wind noises.
They connect through your phone using bluetooth and always connects when you are in the car. The unit also has the ablility to transfer your all your phone book contacts for voice dialing.
