No. BT audio requires a special protocol (A2DP). Those units are intended for commerical use to monitor equipment.

The PC Card slot in the car is set up to receive a memory card

An SD card for a standard PCMCIA adapter is pretty cheap. I thing I got a 8gb micro Sd with the SD adapter for under $10 @ Walfart.

I have way more songs stored on it than on my phone. (About 1000 songs)
32 & 64 gb cards will hold several thousand songs.

But you probably wanna stream Pandora/I Heart Radio or some music app from you phone.

Mike, I found the following PCMCIA Bluetooth adapter which allows the A2DP format. What are your thoughts on this? Would it allow me to stream music from my phone to me car? My car has a build date of 1-06 and does not have the RCA jack inputs....so I'm looking for another way to stream music.

I'm thinking the problem isn't with finding a card that's Bluetooth enabled but rather getting the car to know what to do with the output. The car is set to treat the card as a mass storage device, so it's looking for a directory and file structure, and then for MP3 files. Instead it's getting audio output and I don't think it's going to be able to make sense of it. But it might be worth getting one to experiment with.
