Bluetooth in boxster
 
So I just bought Traffic Pro and thought while installing that to put in a blue tooth system. So I got the Motorola HF850. Havent installed it yet but was wondering if anyone has this or knows about it. I dont like the speaker it comes with because I dont know where to put it. I thought I could have the car speakers be the speaker. I Know im gonna put the microphone in the little place to the left of the instrument cluster, but not sure what to do with the speaker. any ideas?

A little of topic but.....

Where did you get the Traffic Pro from? How much did it set you back?

don't do it
 
I bought and installed a Parrot bluetooth kit about a year ago.
What a waste of time & money.
Initially I had the mike in the place left in the cluster, nobody could hear me, but everyone liked the engine noise they heard :rolleyes:
Then I moved the mike on top of the rev-meter, a little better but would work MAYBE if the top is up. Lots of trial and error and eventually i threw it out again.

I don't think that bluetooth handsfree and convertibles mix well :(

Oh yes and the Parrot is supposed to work through the car-speakers, well it WOULD work if you would feed the speakers from the head-unit and had no amp, which - of course - is not the case.
So I had to do a lot of cable splicing and soldering to at least get it work with the speakers but then no volume at all.
