Saw this somewhere for 99 bucks. How does Bluetooth music streaming sound? I've never heard of it?

it looks like it does music via the headphone jack, and then does phone calls using bluetooth connection to the phone. not the same thing. I've heard of streaming music though a bluetooth connection, but the sound quality is HORRID! BT just doen't offer enough bandwidth for streaming music, it barely has enough bandwidth for voice.

I have bluetooth streaming hifi audio devices in my house that I use on a regular basis. It sounds great. They upgrade the bluetooth standard regularly. Its had the bandwidth for stereo hifi for over a year.

I got a kit from Motorola that would integrate bluetooth into my RX8, but the RX8's Bose stereo won't work with it. I'm looking at my options now. As far as I can tell there is no existing bluetooth kit that works with existing RX8 stereos.

The Parrot kit is amazing -- works perfectly in the RX-8 provided you bought the adaptor to install it simply.

That said, I'm going to put a plus in Parrot's column. I broke my LCD screen on my CK3100 bluetooth kit, and called them up to get a replacement. I figured I'd be out $50 or whatever to get a new one.

They are sending me a new one for free. Top notch customer care right there! I'm very pleased with it, and kudos to Parrot. I'll recommend them to anybody from here on out.
