Bluetooth Phone Module?

Hi Guys

I am contemplating putting in the bluetooth module into the SL (arrives tomorrow) rather than changing the phone cradle. Just wondered if anyone was using the bluetooth module and what you think of it?

Secondly, how good it the oem phone kit when the roof is down? Just thinking that maybe a wired headset or a bluetooth earpiece may be better.

Your thoughts and experiences would be most welcomed.

Thanks
J

I suggest you try posting in the "Audio & Electronics " section. Tons on the chip there.

I have the bluetooth puck in my car as well and it works great.
Dont count on using it with the roof down though. I can hear
perfectly fine, but callers say they hear wind noise. Its alot
less if you have the windows and windguard up, with the roof
down. Still a bit of a hastle for your callers.
