Integrating trinity with car

I am looking for a quick and easy way to integrate my trinity with my car.
Currently I have have a generic car mount with charger. However, I find that TomTom and telephone calls over the speakers are too quiet.
I was thinking of installing a Parrot MK6000 in my car as a method to stream audio from my trinity to the car stereo whilst also acting as a car kit for hands free use while driving. Has anybody had any experience with wiring up this kit? is it easy for a moderate level electronics users (able to solder wires proficiently etc.) to wire up?
Alternatively does anybody know of other solutions to integrate the trinity with the car stereo?

Hello:
I installed this hands free in my car, and it works really fine as a hands free. The audio streaming works well too, but the sound is quite methalic. With tomtom, there is a delay in the sound, the first word it says, for example "...Turn on the left in...." you listen "...urn on the left in ..." and it hanpens allways when tomtom starts to talk.
My OS version is wm5 and I read that wm6 solves this problem.

I recently bought a LG LAC7700R (carstereo with bluetooth and cd/mp3/wma player, with a seperate mic you can place somewhere in your car) works good, up to 5 phones can connect, last six called contacts it will remember. no phonebook in carstereo. Carstereo mutes automaticly by incoming call. You can even use BT audiostream.
i have always BT on, on my phone, it will connect by itself with the carstereo.
works fine for me.
now i am looking for a nice phoneholder with only a charger.

I have a similar setup, with the Sony MEX-BT2500 instead.
However I did not manage to route the Tomtom or iGO sound over the BT A2DP stream.
As a charging holder I have the Brodit Cradle installed.

check this, maybe it will help:
goto bt settings in your phone and activate bluetooth stereo on. that's the thing for play mp3's and navigationvoices over BT. The handsfree mode is for phone voice. (leave that on!)
does sony support a2dp ? maybe that's the problem.

Actually I bought the Sony because it supports A2DP. And with MortPlayer it works flawless when listening music. With activated Bluetooth Stereo (Headphone Symbol in top bar) Tomtom still uses the internal speaker.

iGuidance TTS audio coming through speaker, not A2DP?

Up front details:
Verizon's version of HTC Touch Pro (XV6850)
Verizon stock ROM MR1 (2009-06-11)
Connects to Sony MEX-BT5000 head unit for hands-free and A2DP
I recently installed iGuidance 2009 on my TP, mainly because it has text-to-speech directions (as compared to Google Maps, which doesn't). It works great, except for one detail. When connected to the head unit in my truck, the audio for "In 500ft, turn right on" is played through the truck speakers, but when the name of the street is said, that audio is played through the TP speaker. Any ideas why this happens and/or how to make all of the iGuidance audio play through the stereo?

Just to close the loop on this question, the issue seemed to have fixed itself. In my case, I think the issue was which was first: the iGuidance program running or the A2DP being connected. I think the A2DP has to be connected first before iGuidance's TTS will work fine.

[Q] Nexus S bluetooth and 3.5" jack use

Hi, I'm new here and this first post is a really weird question.
Here's the story.
I am connecting my NS to my car audio deck using the 3.5" jack to the AUX in the car. The NS will detect that a headset is connected. I am able to listen to music or internet radio from my NS in the car.
Now I pair my BT handsfree earpiece to the NS for phone calls when driving. Pairing is fine.
Here's the situation.
When a call comes in I can answer the call by pressing the button on the BT earpiece, BUT once on the call it actually uses the headset for output and mic. There is no mic, so I can only hear the caller from the car speakers, but not be able to talk to them.
I will need to actually select output to bluetooth on the NS in order for it to switch over to the actual BT earpiece and have it work properly.
So the question, is there a setting that will always have the preference for bluetooth first?
If I only have the BT handsfree connected, it will connect to the BT unit without issues.
My car audio deck does not have BT and I wouldn't want to fiddle with the phone while I'm driving (it's against the law in some places and it's dangerous).

Does your car stereo have Bluetooth built in or a built in mic?

I was just curious on who has Bluetooth that's built into there car stereo that also perhaps has a built in mic.
Can you provide what model of radio it is and how you like it?
I want to use my phone in the car for listening to music in the car over Bluetooth as well as being able to make and receive calls over Bluetooth.

First of all...the stereos don't have mic's...it uses the mic on your phone.
And for car stereo, i use a Sony XNV-770bt...it's awesome.

That's actually not true. Jvc has a stereo that has a mic.
It's the JVC KDR-520 CD receiver and KS-BTA100 Bluetooth adapter. The KS-BTA100 Bluetooth adapter has a built in mic. You can find it on Crutchfield's website.

Currently I'm using Sony MEX-BT2800. Streams audio and calls through car speakers. Has a mic built in the front. I absolutely love it. Costs $160 on Sony's site but you can easily get it from $90~ from eBay refurbished.

my infiniti has one but it kinda sucks cuts out all the bloody time!

I have a 2011 sonata. The standard stereo system includes a mic in the cabin and full blue tooth support for calls and stereo audio streaming. Both work flawlessly with my G2X, first with stock rom and now with EB 2.2

I have a Kenwood DNX-9980: http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertainment/eXcelon/Mobile_Video_n_Navigation/DNX9980HD
It does just about everything but drive the damn car for you. As far as bluetooth goes, it uses Parrot, so it supports A2DP with full track control, etc... Phonebook, voice dial, it reads text messages to you, audio interrupt, etc etc...
Seriously, this deck does EVERYTHING you could ever want. It has more features and a better UI than a BMW iDrive or the new lexus interface.
Main drawback for most people is that it's double din, and clocks in around $2000.

I am using ATOTO A6. Which has built-in microphone & external microphone .Acturally built-in microphone is pretty enough for my daily using. Just search'ATOTO' on Amazon.

Tablet GPS for car

Hello, i am looking for android tablet for car. It would be all in one device. I want to have good GPS, FM transmitter with bearable quality and bluetooth for hands-free kit. I want all of these option to be able to work all in one time. The best option is hands-free kit to be working with transmitter, that i could hear it from car speakers. Is it possible to obtain this? For example, i want to drive a car with working gps navigation, working transmitter with music and in some moment somebody could call to me, or I call somebody, and in this moment transmitter will transmit my conversation instead of music.
Can you tell me of possibility of this and what device will be good for that? for example PEIYING EXCLUSIVE GPS-7008
