    I need any recommendations for the best bluetooth car speakerphone for my "loud" 355. I have the kida exhaust, and it is pretty loud. I am afraid that it is too loud for any bluetooth speakerphones to have conversations while driving. And I do not like to use the bluetooth headsets. Maybe the one with FM trasmitter may work better as it gets connected to the car radio and its speakers. Any 355 owners with the same problems and with some good suggestions?

    You can utilize your car's speakers if you install a CD receiver ("face plate") that has built-in Bluetooth.

    Recently, I installed the Sony MEX-BT5700U in two of my cars. It even has an optional external microphone. The audio comes in right through the car's speakers -- it's great.

    I wouldn't recommend a face plate that simply has built-in Bluetooth... I'd get one that has an external microphone. To my knowledge, the Sony is the only one that offers it. Otherwise, the microphone is located on the face plate itself, which is substantially far away -- and especially in a loud 355.

    Alpine cda 105 with Bluetooth optional addon works great with its external mike. I also added an xm antenna.

    Another nice feature you get with the Bluetooth Sony is that you can set your ipod touch or iphone in the console and play your music on your stereo without any connection cables. ;)

    I have an apline cd with bluetooth in my 348. I put the mic they provide right at the tip of the left "a" pillar of my TS, which is a couple of inches from my head. Works great! (I also have an XM receiver in the trunk where the CD stacker used to be - a nice upgrade).
