Ipod

[DrivingHabit]

Hi everyone, for those who has an SL with Ipod / Bluetooth jack have you had an issues with it?? I yet to try out it

I recently traded my 2007 for an 2009.

[iluvmyVersa08]

I have the SL w/ the AUX port for my V and it works great. No issues with it yet. And I also have bluetooth. It is one of my favourite feature on my V. It works great as well. As soon as I start the car it connects to my phone and I never have to have my phone beside me. I usually keep it in the trunk (in my bag) and I have never had any connection issues. Why did you trade yours in? Did you upgrade features?

I traded in my 2007 s with no abs no cruise. my 2007 had flaws so i traded in for an 2009 sl with abs, cruise was the features i was looking for. The Ipod feature I could of lived without.

Im planning to drive down to California this summer, cruise control will help tons.

Sounds good. Ya cruise control is nice on long trips. My V has that too.Good luck w/ the new one!

I have an 09 sl with the ipod/bluetooth and the cruise and abs, and I love it! I just drove my v down from Oregon to LA and the cruise control worked wonderfully. Good choice in the trade in. I too love my bluetooth, it works great, and plus your ahead of the game because of a lot of states are switching over to handsfree driving, so you have to have bluetooth. The ipod connection works great, really easy to use. I do however wish I had the upgrade where you can control your ipod from your stereo controls. But that was just another cost to consider. Have a good drive down, it's awesome!

What is the ipod controls that you speak of? On the steering wheel?

Yes in Ontario they have passed the bill that bans drivers from using cell phones while driving. I'm glad I have the bluetooth option now!

An ipod interface (so you just plug it in and control it through your deck) was an option when I bought mine, not sure if it was available on the S but definatly was on the SL.

Fortunatly we have until fall to give up hand held devices. This new law includes things like ipods too . At least you can get bluetooth headsets for phones.

Hmm. I wonder if I have that. I did get every available option on the V at the time of purchase last April. I have the SL fully loaded.

I have bluetooth so I won't need the headset when the law does take effect. Did you get bluetooth in your V? If you don't have bluetooth, there is a built in mic in the car so you don't need a headset. You just dial the number and talk.

I'll have to look at my ipod thing though. I have the AUX plug but I haven't tried controlling it through the deck. I'll test it out tomorrow.

Does someone knows if I can add Bluetooth to my stock radio? I have a CD/MP3 (1 Disk) unit, with Aux in.

Here's the pic:

So even though I don't have bluetooth I should still be able to talk handsfree???

And as for the ipod thing, you have to have the plug where it goes into the bottom of your ipod. Definatly check into it! Although the aux. jack on your radio won't do it. It will be a cable that goes in behind your dash and hooks into the back of your stereo.

Oh okay. No I don't have that ipod thing.

As for bluetooth, I'm assuming you can get a headset for your phone. I don't really know how it works though if you do not have bluetooth in the car. You might still need to use your phone to dial out and then just talk through the headset.

However, with the bluetooth in the V you push a button on the steering wheel and say who you want to call and it dials it for you. You don't need to pick up the phone at all. And you do not need a headset.

However, since you don't have bluetooth I guess you'll have to use a headset. I'm not too sure how it works though. Maybe someone on here uses a headset w/out having the V's bluetooth and can explain how it works for them.

Basically: No. Not without a ton of work of wiring and replacing everything.

Ohhh ok I misunderstood your post. The headset is just this little ear piece that you put in and it has a mic on it as well and it connects with your phone and doesn't really have anything to do with the car. So my blackberry would just connect to that if I wanted to take a call

They had a handsfree bill last week and it didn't pass last Monday. It was suppose to ban the use of talking on cell while driving. Good thing it didn't pass, it's a dumb law IMO. If I want to talk on my phone, I can in a responsible manner without getting distracted. Those who can't talk and drive shouldn't in the first place. Let people make the decision to talk on their phone and drive, just be responsible and not have the government control everything.

I put the volume on my car to 20. then use the ipod volume to whatever. sounds good.
