    BG Auto: Bluetooth Kit Help

    I just recently got a new car. Being the 1st new car I've ever bought I didn't want to get all finicky with the dealership(and I was praying I'd be able to get financing as i have no credit history) and decided that I didn't actually need the blue-tooth option.
    Now 2 days later I'm really starting to think I should have got it. Does anyone have any advice on where I should go to get one installed or any tips on good kits to get?
    If I would have purchased the blue-tooth option from the get-go it would have been integrated into the steering wheel, is there anyway to make an aftermarket blue-tooth kit do that?

    Thanks in advance for replies ^^


    edit: Oh if it makes a difference I would MUCH rather have the kit professionally installed.

    Parrot seems to be the best. They have a list of certified installers on their web site. Though buying one of those ear pieces would probably be the cheapest option and just leave it in your car. I'm pretty sure Parrot has the ability to connect to your vehicle's control system, but it's an extra peripheral. Again, they have certified installers for that. Expect to spend a couple hundred.

    But no credit history and you bought a new car? Your APR must be ridiculously high (unless you threw down a big payment).

    11apr(ouch i know) I also put down 3.6k, I plan to refinance in about a year once I've established some credit though.
    Probably going to stop by a local place tomorrow and see what they tell me, tho I will be leaning towards Parrot.

    Eh, I would just get a Bluetooth headset, then you can go hands-free in places other than your car. Not to mention that headsets are dirt cheap these days and most mobiles with BT connectivity will have some kind of voice dialing feature anyway.

    If you want it for MP3 compatibility, does your head unit have an Aux jack? If so, just get a cable and you're set.

    I actually already have a pair of nokia blue-tooth headphones that work for music and phone and they rock. The main thing I am wanting is the ability to not have to get into my car and pair, and then when not in the car just to be able to use the phone normally, tho mp3 ability is a plus as is caller id. Currently I'm using the AUX cable for my ipod but if possible I'd totally prefer to just be able to use blue-tooth from the same setup my phone would be using without hindering my phone's abilities.

    Thanks for input. Stopping by that place I mentioned in my prior post tomorrow(they were closed before). Going to ask them about some stuff then will probably shoot back here to make sure they're not trying to take advantage of me or anything lol.
