Merlin Member 57 Member For: 21y 8m 21d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 13/02/09 11:50 PM Share Posted 13/02/09 11:50 PM Just became the new owner of a BF2 XR6Turbo ZF and first thing on the list to do is getting my Nokia to go handfree for work. Options I can think of is 1) Ford blutooth kit ($500 ouch); 2) Universal bluetooth kit like Blueant ($100 but fiddly) 3) Some sort of Nokia car kit (I'd prefer wireless though).At the same time I was looking at the mp3 adaptor kits so I can buy an mp3 player to listen to my music - did some research on here and it seems I need the "boosted" cable to get decent sound ($130 from ASL or $85ish ebay). This got me thinking - if I had this mp3 cable adapter (3.5mm socket) does this mean I could buy some sort of a bluetooth dongle (with 3.5mm connector) like this:http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-Bluetooth-3-5mm...%3A1|240%3A1318Would this allow my bluetooth enabled Nokia to go handsfree as well as stream songs from the phone saving me buying an mp3 player?
