Default Bluetooth Options in IS300

Hey folks,

Anyone put a Bluetooth module in their car? If so, what are you using? What have you seen? How is the quality? I've gotten used to driving 5-speed with a phone in my hand, but it still would be really nice.

Most newer aftermarket headunits have this feature built in.
If you have aftermarket headunit you should check it out first.
See if there is little bluetooth logo on it.

Yeaahhh, but I really wanted to keep the OEM look... I may end up getting a Parrot Bluetooth system or something of the sort...I work at BBY part-time so it would be for a decent price too.

And you can get a plug-and-play harness, compatible with your 02 IS, for the nicer Parrot kits from http://www.quickconnectproducts.com/Find/find.php

omG thank you for showing me this! I bought an MKi9200 for my brother a while ago for his 09 Civic Si but he didn't want to have to cut up some wires so it has just been sitting around... This is perfect! Price is kinda expensive, but I'll search around and I think I will look into it for the IS now too!
