from other posts here, it seems that people with Mercedes, Audi, BMW and other fancy cars can count on fairly successful bluetooth integration between the car systems and the Blackberry family.
I wanted this, so I looked carefully at a number of replacement CD receivers with built-in bluetooth. Folks, there's a lot of dealers and manufacturers out there who haven't done this right or don't know much about it.
I narrowed in on a JVC KD-BT1 CD receiver and had that installed in my Camry. Works perfect, pairs instantly, address books transfers fine, recent call list transfers and all functions work perfect with my GSM 8800.
If you Google this deck, you will see fairly favorable reviews except for the user interface. I agree, it's kludgy, confusing, you have to press a bunch of different buttons to get things done. I suppose I will get used to it, but now on my third day I still press the wrong button sometimes.
If anyone has questions about this particular unit, I'll try and answer them.
