crewxp Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey, I'm about to purchase a F500BT from 6ave for 200.00 Is that a good deal? And can the F500BT stream my iPhones music to my car stereo? That and the ipod voice control is the main reason I wanted to purchase it. It'd be nice to just sit in my car and have it play my iPhone music without having to hook my iPhone up to anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no AVRCP or A2DP in the AVIC-F500BT. If you buy the optional cable (CD-IU200VM, i think) then you can access, play, search... the music on your iPhone all you want.

gremlin190 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Sounds like it will, you will just need the ipod cable. I have no idea how it stremas to the car radio though. FM modulation? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Z2LxpGY3ru ... 500BT.html for 189.99 http://www.6ave.com/shop/SearchResults. ... vic-f500bt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noxguy83 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 buy the add on amplifier for 100 bucks and the ipod cable and youre good to go. the cable will plug into the upod and let you access the music. the amp integrates into your factory system to give you more power and allow your calls, music, and navigation directions to come through your car speakers.

You could do that, but if your car has an "aux input" you could just feed the audio into that plug from the 500BT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crewxp Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Couple of questions. 1.) So I take it, out of the box, I can not really take control of my iPhone's music without that cable (The standard APPLE USB cable wont work right?) Thats why you guys are recommending that cable? 2.) Theres NO WAY to stream the audio using bluetooth because its missing a A2DP profile, correct? 3.) When you say buy an amplifier, is the amplifier that comes with the 6ave link posted here sufficient? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but if you have an aux input this is not necessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
