MOTORKR T505 Car Kit - 07/21/08 05:22 PM
Anyone heard of this car kit? You can use it to take hands-free calls and playing your own music thru your car stereo.

I've been looking at that unit for a long time. It seems to provide a pretty high quality and unique solution. The only caveats are:
1. "playing your own music" means streaming content via bluetooth to the T505, which then transmits via FM to your car stereo. Ingenious, but serious potential for degraded sound.
2. The unit will only interrupt your car stereo for a handsfree call if you are streaming music through it. If you are listening to some other FM station or a CD or whatever, it's just another speakerphone.
I'm tempted to just buy a new head unit with bluetooth built-in to alleviate these two limitations. It will probably be $250 instead of $100, but the functionality will be much improved.

O yes, it definitely is a sweet device. If you have questions on the functionality and specs, they actually have more info on motodanica.com. The 360 view on the MOTOROKR T505 really lets you take a better look as well.
