Just became the new owner of a BF2 XR6Turbo ZF and first thing on the list to do is getting my Nokia to go handfree for work. Options I can think of is 1) Ford blutooth kit ($500 ouch); 2) Universal bluetooth kit like Blueant ($100 but fiddly) 3) Some sort of Nokia car kit (I'd prefer wireless though).

At the same time I was looking at the mp3 adaptor kits so I can buy an mp3 player to listen to my music - did some research on here and it seems I need the "boosted" cable to get decent sound ($130 from ASL or $85ish ebay). This got me thinking - if I had this mp3 cable adapter (3.5mm socket) does this mean I could buy some sort of a bluetooth dongle (with 3.5mm connector) like this:

Would this allow my bluetooth enabled Nokia to go handsfree as well as stream songs from the phone saving me buying an mp3 player?

if im reading right, are you thinking of plugging this into the 3.5mm plug on teh boosted cable ?? if so that will not work as its input and teh dongle is opposite. from the looks of the pic, this dongle is plugged into headphone output jack.

hope that makes sense

Yeah thinking of plugging it in to the 3.5mm plug - your right the boosted cable plug is 'male' but could you not use a male/female adapter (like $5 from dick smith) to get it to work?

Merlin,

Simple answer - go with one of your first 3 options...

I got a nokia bluetooth handsfree kit off ebay for like 80bucks...

easy to install and works the same as the ford andit kept the wallet happy
