Scosche BFGM GM LAN BlueFusion Interface Module for Factory Hands Free Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have now purchased 3 of these adapters....After searching for a bluetooth solution for all of my GM vehicles I came accross this product in a GM forum and I have to say it is hands down the best aftermarket buy I've seen for bluetooth. Currently I have one installed in a 2008 Sierra without Nav, 2007 GMC Yukon XL with Nav, and a 2007 Cadillac Escalade with Nav. All of these never offered bluetooth from the factory, only Onstar and I really wanted handsfree operation with a "factory" feel and this product gives it. Installation is litterally a 5 minute plug and play, the video on their website shows you how to do it in 5 minutes. I've paired my iPhone, Blackberry Bold, Bold 2, and Curve and all work great and the A2DP streaming audio is terrific. There are adjustments in the system menu that allow for volume adjustments of phone calls and streaming audio so that once you switch back to a normal source you don't blow out your ears. The only issue I've seen is the AVRCP with the iPhone, in the Sierra when I press the play/pause button on the sterring wheel controls it only mutes the music which is the factory preset function, it won't pause the iPhone. Overall great product.

Scosche Bfha Bluefusion Interface Module For Factory Hands-Free (Honda) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm rocking the BFHA in a 2007 Honda Civic Si, and for a phone, the iPhone 4. As an interface for making and receiving calls, it works really really well. The calls are clear and nobody has any problem hearing me. Using the radio buttons to initiate the calls is somewhat confusing, but using the phone itself, it couldn't be easier.
One of the big reasons I got this particular bluetooth unit was to also be able to play music from the phone through the stereo wirelessly. This also works pretty well. it's even possible to advance through tracks using the steering wheel controls, which is really cool. So, for example, I can be driving down the highway streaming Pandora, and skip a song I don't like. That's really neat.
My one complaint (so far) is that the gain on the a2dp seems to be too high. What I mean by this is that the music comes on really loud in comparison to other sources. Which isn't that big of a deal in and of itself, but this also seems to result in the highs being somewhat "blown out" and crackly. Even if I turn down the volume of the phone, when the volume of the headunit is turned up to get to the same volume, some songs seem to have this problem. I've used this phone with a2dp bluetooth headunits from Pioneer and Sony and do not have this problem.
All that said, I haven't spent very much time troubleshooting the problem and I hope to find a remedy with a little work. I had a minor snafu with the install (my mic ended up being defective), but to my pleasant surprise Scosche representatives are easy to reach, even on Saturdays. I'm hoping they might have some thoughts on this gain/volume issue.

Parrot RKi8400 Bluetooth Car Stereo for Digital Music and Hands-Free Driving Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had done all my research on stereos that work with the iPhone. I thought this one would be perfect. Here is what I have found:
1. the buttons feel very cheap
2. my iPhone barely fits in the compartment behind the face.
3. a 4gb SD card takes about a minute to initialize every time I start my car
4. did not come with a face cover to car the face around or store in.
5. the voice that talks to you when someone calls, etc cannot pronounce anything -- even the basic features of the device (let alone someone's name!)
6. the speakerphone does not pickup my voice very well at all in my car (have tried several different locations
7. having my iPhone stored behind the face is annoying and barely used -- as you have no access to your phone and you have to shut down the stereo if you need to pull it out.
