Will this work? [BlueTooth]
Anybody see a reason I couldn't install this in a 3LT? It seems a lot simpler and easier to use than the Parrot units.

That looks more like something a manufacturer will release to get OEM attention more than aftermarket.

Second, the only wires I would have have to hack are for power. I haven't checked, but most auto-dimming mirrors have a removable plug on the back, from which I could get power without splicing. My car is a lease, so I am hesitant to actually cut into the wiring.
Lastly, although I agree that the radio would put out much better quality for a phone call, I don't like the fact that the phone mutes the radio. I spend an enormous amount of time on the phone, and like to have some music playing in the background. Especially if I'm on a conference call with the phone on mute, no sense in being locked away from my music!
Thanks for your thoughts, keep'em coming!
