Using Blackberry with bluetooth Car stereo?

Does anyone use their blackberry with their car stereo through bluetooth (for music and calls, ect.)? I am thinking about getting a new stereo for this purpose....

I have a Pioneer Bluetooth headunit and I just tested out the functionality with my new Pearl yesterday. Everything worked, which was actually a bit of a surprise as Sprint seems to have something against fully enabling Bluetooth on the phones it carries. My Pearl is the first Sprint BT phone I've had that would allow a Bluetooth audio connection.

what model is your headunit?

Hey jsut wanted to give you a heads up not all blackberries are bluetooth stereo compatible

I will be using a curve, which I believe is....the problem is finding a bluetooth car stereo

[Sith_Apprentice]

yes the curve supports bluetooth stereo profiles

Yep, the Curve supports BT stereo. Bring a car charger, though as it will eat your BB's battery.

When I go to the gym w/a BT headset and use it for an hour or so, I'm down to the 35% range on my Seidio extended battery in my Pearl...that's after a normal day's use. So it takes a pretty big bite.

It's about like talking on the phone.
