Bluetooth Question.

So now that Vegas has caught up with the times and has put the no cell phone law into effect, Id like to get my BT setup working smoothly as I am on the phone alot in the car for work. I searched related subjects and mainly find old rather worthless threads on the performance of the various options. My car is equipped with a phone cradle. Is anyone using the v60 adapter that plugs into the cradle? How does it perform with the modern smart phones? Iphone 4 to be particular.

I have done many OEM intergrations and aftermarket BT with MB's for many years.The OEM MB BT is not to bad.My iPhone 4 seems to work just fine with the MB system.I do have the cradle in the center console.It seems every MB I have searched (Hundreds) and nver found a cradle in any of them.It must be common for everyone to take them out,including the thieves.
Its nice to see a fellow 2JZ owner here."see sig"

You should see my BT setup, $4000 and you will be connected. Stop playing around with oem BT setups that wont get you clear voice, and dropped calls. Gotta pay to play.

It's worth it, no dropped calls, self-adjusting antenna to receive best possible signal!

Whatever you say (Hint Bluetooth doesn't determine if a call drops or not....)

Not bad....but I think your setup is inferior.....

I decided to hardwire 30kms of phone cable to my car I now have my home phone in my car and when its not in use, dial up internet. Some say its inconvenient but I just laugh at them when they get a dropped call.
