Hey, i have the IVA-W200 and was thinking about getting the bluetooth adapter to work along side my blackjack from cingular... does anybody have the bluetooth and alpine and if so, can i have some details on how it works.. install isnt a problem, just curious about opperation. thanks

 

Only thing I know about it is you can only use it with incoming calls. I personally don't think it's worth it.

 

Huh? I've got it on mine and I use it for both incoming and out going calls. Voice dial etc. I think it's a great set up. Very easy install with the IVA-W200...plug and play through Ai-net port. Just one wire to mute function which connects to existing bullet connector on HU.

 

Are you looking into the kca-100bt? I use the alpine cda-9851 and tried that bluetooth adaptor. Didn't work for me. This could very well be a compatibility thing with my phone (treo 700p) but I also tried it with my wife's Samsung A900 and received pretty much the same results. Had a hard time hearing and when I turned up the volume on my receiver loud enough to hear them, they got the echo. They said they had difficulty hearing me as well. I had it professionally installed and checked a few times. Got tired of messing with it so I had it taken out. Could have been a bad unit or compatibility problems. Dunno, just wasn't happy with it. There is a new one coming out though (kca-300bt) but it says compatible with 2007 models and up. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck.

 

yeh thats a bit of help, i appreciate everything. there are some other things that i would rather spend my money on than the bluetooth...like train horns! afterall, i dont talk on the phone much in the truck cause i dont want to turn the music down! thanks for the input!
