Bluetooth Music Adapter?

Hey everyone.

Just wondering the best way to play the music on my Treo 750 via bluetooth into the factory stereo. Right now I have it hard wired into the aux input adapter.

I have an '06 w/ the HK stereo, if that matters.

Thanks.

Only way would be via AUX at the moment.

Came across the T605:

It has a 1/8" in, but I can't tell if it has an out that could be plugged into the aux.

Another one:

Again, can't tell if I'd need to change the aux-in adapter to the back of the stereo w/ an adapter that works with these two, or if they have 1/8" outs that I could plug into my current aux adapter.


Looks like this will work, but would require some wiring for power:

Just thought someone out there had a better solution.

Thanks.

Resurrecting an old thread as I just added the Motorola T605 to my factory HK " stereo. There is an 1/8'" input jack and a red and white RCA output. I connected this to a radio shack Y adapter and hooked it into my AUX input.

The T605 can also use Bluetooth to stream music to the AUX port. You have two options for phone calls:
1. Small speaker that attaches to the T605 and can be hidden in the car
2. additional harnesses from many places like installer.com that will allow the phone calls to be played over the radio ($120 additional)

To save $$ I went with the speaker that stashed it behind the plastic grill under the toggle switches in the center console. If you use the harnesses you get radio mute on any radio setting (FM, AM, CD, AUX). If you use the speaker like I did you get mute when streaming over Bluetooth from the phone but if listening to the radio it keeps playing and the call is routed over the little speaker. For saving $120 I'm OK with this for now. I might do the harness later but this works just fine. Music sounds great over bluetooth and the phone calls sound fine over bluetooth and the little speaker as well.

I have the Motorola T505. It is pretty simple. Stream the your bluetooth phone to the radio via FM. Also it is portable to take from car to car. Quality is decent...the install kits above would give you a better sound.
