Since I'm a newbie (in here at least), I thought I'd ask a simple q. And yes, I did do a search first :D

I've got one of those mobile phone car kits for my nokia 8250, but I was looking at getting a new car and its pretty inconvenient to buy a kit for a given phone and have to change the kit if I buy a new phone.

So.....that was a long winded way of saying, is there such a thing as a head unit that can connect to a mobile via bluetooth wireless, and if so, has anyone bought/used one?

You could get a bluetooth car-kit to use with a whole number of bt equipped phone but even these will prob only work with *that* brand of phone :D

They *are* cool in that you don't neccessarily have to change cradles with each phone, though.

Headunit? Hope you're not talking about stereo headunits?!!? All you could od is use the yellow wire from the car kit to mute the stereo when a call comes in.

Hope this helps a bit...

buy a "car baby" no wires the thing simply clips over ur phone and u tune ur stereo into the frequency it tells u to. they work great and totaly transportable and only cost about 70 bucks

thanks for the responses everyone!

bless_you, this is the head unit you mean?

this is close to the sort of thing i was looking for but its limited in # of models it supports, thats why I was hoping for some standards based wireless.

For the guys that mentioned the FM receiver thingies, the speaker thru the radio bit makes sense, but how does the mike work?

2rismo, got a link to one of those bluetooth cradle products.

lol! smarteq! recognised the pic, now I know the brand of my current car kit!

their "universal kit" looks interesting:

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
