May I ask why are you selling?
I just paired mine and gave it a test on the road yesterday.
Amazing, simply amazing.
Is the base coming with it? I am tempted to get it for older car as well.

I installed an aftermarket head unit with integrated bt, so I don't need it anymore. There's no other part with it - only the module in the pictures

They work pretty good but if you are not pre wired it's a pain to install. As a side note $150 is a little pricey, I got one on eBay for a few years ago for $90.

Yeah, that's a 2nd gen model. I picked up a 3rd gen one for $120 on ebay a few years ago, the 2nd gen goes for $50-$100 on ebay.

I guess OP will not mind some bumps?
What is better on gen 3?
I just got new android and am playing with voice recognition for texting and emails.
It works decently , considering that English is my 3rd language and I speak with heavy accent.
Now, is there a Puck that can extend voice recognition via car system?
Additional question. What antenna is the system using? Is it car antenna, or do I need to keep the phone in open?

Good question - I have been wondering this also?
I have connected my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth puck that came with the car and it is working fine!
Is it using the "shark-fin" boosted antenna or is it just using the iPhone built in antenna?
The signal indicator in the head unit is showing pretty strong signal in the remote areas I often drive in.

It uses the phone's antenna. You don't need to keep the phone in open - the phone behaves like it always behaves, except when a call is in progress, it connects the audio with the vehicle via Bluetooth.
The puck has been sold, by the way.
