Can you get stereo head units that will bluetooth up with my iPhone to stream music and offer hands free phone?

Sorry if this is a dim-wit question guys, I'm more used to Eight Track systems confused

Someone will come along and post something that matches your requirements exactly, but this one has built in Bluetooth for calls, but doesn't stream music over Bluetooth, you'll have to connect it with the provided cable.

Mine will connect to phone (don't have an iPhone) for handsfree calls and it will also stream music through A2DP or whatever it's called. The thing is I have never tried to do both at the same time, but phonecalls always override whatever music source I am listening to though.

Pioneer DEH-P8100BT



Its a couple years old now, so has probably been replaced by a newer model.

It won't need one, but music will certainly sound better with one.

I got mine from halfords for 100. It was end of the line so ex display but it streams music and phone calls through bluetooth. It is a sony mex-bt3800u. Not sure how much the new model is though.

I'd go for Alpine or Pioneer for this sort of thing, both do units to suit that are of excellent quality and really it's down to your personal preference as to which brand you go for. I prefer Alpine, hence getting an IDA-X313 stereo for my MR2 recently.
