I'm after a bluetooth stereo and wondered what PH folk have and would recommend. Not that fussed by a CD player, but would like to stream music easily from my iphone. The stereo is positioned over the passenger side of my car so not that easy to reach so a good app/remote to swap music around from the drivers side would be useful. Also a separate microphone for calls as the ones incorporating it into the face unit would be too far away.

Any recommendations?

I've just bought one of these, very impressed:

Also will work with your steering wheel controls if you have them. Front AND rear USB slots.

I have to ask though, why not put all you music on a cheap SD card/ USB flash drive rather than faff with your phone?

I have one of these in my Fiat and it's been great.
Simple to use, sounds good and with my phone, a few USB sticks, CD's and radio I've got so much music in the car its ridiculous!.
I payed £60 from Halfords in their January sale smile

Sony BT3100

ETA - It also come with a full function remote which I tend to use alot too

A very good point! A mixture of uneducated/technophobe and laziness so I buy albums via itunes straight on my phone and once a while back my phone up to itunes on my macbook. I've never really embraced the concept of music on SD cards or USB sticks but perhaps this is the time to learn!

Thanks for the recommendations thus far.

I bought a couple of motorola tk30 hands free kits for myself and the missus, they piggy back onto the standard stereo and stream music perfectly, easy enough to fit too and you can mount the display pretty much anywhere you like.

+1 had 2 sony BTs over the years and they were great . Connects to everything and really powerful.

My first one was in 2008,so you can imagine everyones face as it was a new thing streaming via bluetooth.
