Once you pair your 3G or 3Gs, everything your iPhone plays will play through your car speakers including games, apps, iPod music and videos not to mention calls. Although the call volume was weak, the person I spoke to said they heard me fine through the built in mic on the head unit. I had the radio cranked and I had to turn off my AC to hear them better. There may be a tweak for this though, not sure yet.

However, streaming music and apps was flawless and sounded amazing. 100 times better than my previous solution (Belkin FM transmitter). I mean no static and more than enough power through the entire range, from low to high. I tested music, movies, TV Shows and some apps, including MLB, Pandora, AOL Radio, Wunder Radio and all my games. Its to cool to sit in your car playing Tiger Woods with what felt like full surround sound.

All the controls are right on the phone which I prefer. I have a nice ProClips mount that swivels so the CD deck was enough for me. Anyway, just thought I would let ya'll know.

Does yours have a USB port on the face? I want that in addition to Bluetooth support. Haven't found anything great at Best Buy. And they told me that installation would be about $120! Is that about what it costs for installation?
