New Sony Car Head Unit w/ Built in Bluetooth: MEX-BT5000

Autos Cell Phones MP3 — 09 March 2006

Sony’s newest head unit for the car integrates Bluetooth and hands free calling into one neat, sleek package. A microphone is built directly into the device so no messy wiring is needed, and the caller’s voice is routed to the in car speakers. Caller information can also be displayed on the MEX-BT5000, with the ability to store up to 50 (slight disappointment) contacts for future calls. The BT5000 can also control and receive music from Bluetooth compatible MP3 players and phones.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

not really happy!!!
The screen – lots of room to put much more info – like a second line of text – but no. Scroll stops after it does it one – will not scroll again without you pushing a button. Only 1 line of MP3 data- why not 2 – the LCD can do it- but does not
Bluetooth – Only has 50 address book memory spots – sucks
plus when driving 7p tp 80 – hands free doesnt work because of the noice of the road. It works great a low speeds like on base were you cant have a phone to your head.
AuX preamp – USELESS – Hooked in a IPOD (and other mp3 devices) – I have the AUX trim/booth up to 6 (max) and the volume all the way up and it has no power – plus sound hollow-
ITr really hard to attached the face plate.
Sony – the joystick is great. The display is bright and clear (but direct sun messes it up). Bluetooth sucks, no USB, AUX is weak – Display info is pour – you need to work on this.

Radio was installed by Sony auth installer – even they said the AUX sucked
