Another Stereo Question

[Giller]

Why is it you need Bluetooth? If for your phone, just pull over for the odd phone call. These cars are for driving, two hands on the wheel and focus on the road. The 220 isn't going to give you much more in the way of music enhancement, and I believe the Bluetooth aspect is pretty poor anyways....
It's also not overly expensive, so worth the shot.

....and install this:

It looks like the iSimple Tranzit Blu requires an aux port. I don't believe the CDR23 has an aux port.

...Negative, Ghostrider!

The iSimple Transit Blu uses either a jack OR it plugs into your FM antenna port.

You bluetooth your phone to the unit, and it bypasses the FM antenna and plays your music over a chosen FM frequency.

Works great!

I have one in my '04 SE with BOSE and MOST.

Good luck.

This isn't the 50's!
Bluetooth works great for both phone and audio streaming. It is very inexpensive at this point as well. BT audio is, at worst, FM quality. At best, BT is between FM and CD.

You can always drive with radio and phone off, but when not in the twilight zone, BT is a very nice, modern day capability to have in any car.

Full disclosure: I control door locks and thermostats from my phone, along with securly accepting credit cards!
