Hi All,

I just purchased a 2005 roadster Limited with NAV.

What do you need to do to make the NAV radio work with a hands free phone ?

I'm looking for information on adding a cd changer. Is there a unit other than what the mfg offers ? Is there a hookup and where is it located ? Do you need a special cable to use with other changers ?

Thanks,
Glenn

 

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP FOR A NEWBIE!!! I guess this is a closed forum to new owners.

If you want to use a phone with the stock head unit, you'll have to order the BNA-1319-116 cable from Becker North America: http://www.beckerautosound.com/parts...rt_number.html

Then, you'll have to buy a separate bluetooth kit for your phone. The Motorola IHF1000 works according to other members here.

I don't know if any CD changers work with the stock head unit. You'll have to search the forums.

 

I find cell phone use in an open car to be challenging at best, impossible at worst. My bluetooth headset is a dismal failure when talking with the top down at anything over about 15 mph. I would think a small microphone someplace in the windshield surround would be worse than that.

Someone turned me on to the Shure QSHB4 headset with a boom mic and a foam wind screen. Yeah, it looks a bit like an early Britney Spears on-stage unit but sound clarity is fantastic for both me and the party on the other end of the call. And that is with the top, and windows, down at 80 mph!! The thing really is a great piece.

 

Thanks so much for the info !
