Hang up & drive....

 

I just drive

Does this rig allow for the iPhone to play music via the bluetooth? Ultimately that's where I'd like to go with mine. Wires are so last-century

 

Don't be talking bad about my century. I like the feel of good wires. :lol:

Oh I was born back in the late 60's myself, but it's the Twenty-First Century, daddy-o! Gotta keep up!

 

I was born in the late 40's and I can't keep up, sonny. :lol:

Jim, we're about the same age - I'm a 49'er myself.....

I'm probably going to do this for my car at some point, but I don't "i" anything....right now I'm running my 'Droid phone on bluetooth thru my Garmin, which will voice dial, voice answer and so on.....

 

In my old Subaru I settled for just keeping the iPhone plugged in to the stereo and cigarette lighter, and had a window mount for it. With a bluetooth earpiece, it was just fine as a navigation system, phone, and jukebox. I figure if one gadget can do all that, then one gadget is all I need. I recognize that data caps on most people's phone plans necessitates a separate gadget for navigation, but I'm grandfathered on to a limitless data plan, and plan to make the best of that while it lasts

I was never happy with all the spaghetti hanging all over the place to make the old rig work. What I'd like to do is just get a ProClip mount, and stream the music in to the stereo wirelessly via bluetooth, using the MFSW as a control. I have bluetooth headphones that can do this, so why not the car?

I can live with one short charging wire for longer trips but with the iPhone's battery life, power is rarely an issue.

 

Yep, I have let many calls go to voice mail, because I find it hard to drive, shift and answer the phone at the same time. I can only multi task a couple of things at once.

Yeah Jim.....
You also gotta leave room for eating the donut in there somewhere.

 

Heh, mostly I don't talk while driving but it's nice to have the option. It's the navigation and music that the phone is primarily used for. These are convergence devices - the gadget is multi-tasking, not the driver. :smilewinkgrin:

 

The joys of a loud exhaust...

Me: Hello

Them: Nate, you there?

Me: Huh..can't hear ya, damn loud exhaust.

Them: Can ya hear me if I shout...

Me: Can't hear you, cars too loud...call you later.

Now back to the drive

There is an iPod too that is connected with an iPod cable. It lives in the car most of the time and just works.

 

Funny quirk, but I don't allow eating or smoking in my car. I eat the doughnut after I stop and get out. I think I did see Chuck flying down Hellbender with a doughnut clamped in this teeth, or was that Mark?

Jim

 

Yup, loud exhaust here too. iPod has 14 gigs on it, set to shuffle, and plays loud Best way to deal with any little rattles:lol:

Mark

 

WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

Jim

 

Jim.... It's called old age.....

 

Oh, that. I thought it was his exhaust. :lol:

Jim

 

I use the old guy ticket as much as I can. I ant't climbing ladders when there are young bucks around. I built it, will point how to set it up, and if they ant't ready for me, I go back to the shop and build more stuff

Coolness, I'll look into it Thanks!
