Integrated android and BT music

[samjam]

What do you guys think of this?

MOST USB iPod iPhone Samsung Droid Car adapter for Mercedes Benz 05-08 #MBO-MST3 610074996828 | eBay
Manual: http://gromaudio.com/docs/mst3_booklet.pdf

Seems to integrate bluetooth audio fully with the audio control system. As far as I can tell the only thing it lacks is video!

It would probably need this ordering too:
GROM Bluetooth Dongle Extension for many car makes #BTD 610074996361 | eBay
Manual: http://gromaudio.com/docs/bluetooth_manual.pdf

and maybe this:
GROM AUX 3.5mm and 5V USB charging cable for many mobile phones #C-35USB 610074996637 | eBay

All it lacks is video :-(

Don't know this one specifically, but I have something similar for the iphone in the Volvo. Sound quality is just as good, if not better than CD.

I note that the bluetooth handsfree use the track buttons to answer calls, not the telephone buttons :-(

And calls must be dialled on the phone, not the built-in telephone console :-(

Hmm I would not want to pay so much for only partial integration. Current I have a parrot wired into my radio system and a FM Drive Transmit Pro for music.

At £500 I think this is not "better enough"

I missed the telephone interface bit. Agree with you - but good for music.

A late followup, I've just seen this:

I've asked for more detail on how the phone interface works, I hope it uses native microphones, native controls on the steering wheel and on the console.
