Does anyone have this receiver? How is the incoming/outgoing calls from the Bluetooth in the receiver? Sort of mixed reviews on Crutchfield.

Does anyone have pictures of this installed on their Z?

The MEX-BT5000 is Sony's first car CD player with built-in Bluetooth technology, and it's all about making your life simpler. No more searching for the ringing cell phone while you're driving down a busy street, or trying to talk on your phone while it's connected to the charger's too-short cord. Instead, when the phone rings, you just push a button on the stereo to answer it. The music mutes and the call comes over your car's front speakers. And your phone remains in your pocket, purse, or under the seat.

The MEX-BT5000 links to your Bluetooth mobile phone so you can make and receive calls without having to touch your phone. Read more

Seems like a good price for a receiver and Bluetooth capability since a Bluetooth adapter for just about any car stereo is around $150-200.

I am just trying to get a CD/MP3 receiver with Bluetooth capability (and the auxiliary cable adapter $20-30) since I am going to do the Farenheit/Ipod video with the Monster iTV link cable setup.

Is there another CD/MP3 player that is Bluetooth capability that uses the Bluetooth adapter that is around the same price as this Sony Unit?

Thanks for any help

 

Bump, no one has this headunit.

 

I ordered it about two weeks ago and have not yet received it. I should get it next week sometime. After I install it I will let you know how it is in a 350z.

 

Scratch my last post. Dumb company kept telling my the BT5000 would ship, but in reality they didn't have it in stock. I canceled my order and now am looking at another seller. I am also looking at a Jensen HU and a Pioneer HU. I will post more when I decide what to do.
