> W810 in the car, how?
Bookmark topic
As part of
my own Esato experiment 
I want to explore using my W810 with my car stereo, for both (handsfree) voice calls and music. How do I accomplish this? The W810 has
but not A2DP, so I can use
for calls but would still need a wired connection for stereo music. (FM transmitters, please leave the room.) If I have to physically connect the phone to the car, then I may as well find a single connection that does both.
Obviously, I would first need the
HCH-60 Car Holder, together with a
proper dashboard mount. But what next?
There is the
HCA-60 Advanced Car Handsfree, which can be used with a
HCE-26 Stereo Music mute. However, the
FAQ page for it states, "I can't get the sound out through my rear speakers, only the front speakers seems to work: The Stereo Mute box HCE-26 is designed to be used for two front speakers." That won't do.
The
MMC-60 Mobile Music Cable (together with an RCA aux-in adapter for the car stereo) would give me the sound I need, and I'm guessing would also play incoming calls over the speakers. But what about my voice - how I do talk to my caller without an external mic?
I'm not sure how to proceed. W810 owners, please advise! Thanks.

Of course, I could always replace my W810 with a
W610, and then simply install a
stereo car kit, like the
Parrot MK6000

see pics here for the phone install in the car.
using car charger
(http://www.se-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=accessory.detail&ProductID=700)
and car holder (http://www.se-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=accessory.detail&ProductID=1154)
attached to this mount (http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop.php?action=productshow&id=55)
i then plan to fit this headunit
http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=MEXBT5000
which plays your music via bluetooth and also acts as a handsfree kit with no need for an external mic. theres an inbuilt mic in the front of the unit to pick up your voice and the other person is played through the speakers.

There is a way around this.
The HCE-26 is designed to send the sound directly to the (front) speakers and not via the headunit to be amplified.
You would need to buy a signal converter to convert the High voltage (12V) speaker signal to a low voltage (2-5V) line in signal. Its a simple and inexpensive device.
EDIT: I think
this is the device you want.

I'm still using my factory head unit. It lacks line-level inputs. Any other way to make the HCE-26 feed 4 channels instead of 2?
Also, are there any good pics of the HCH-60 Car Holder? I need to see its backside to found out more about how I would attach it to the car.

buy Sony mex 2500 (cheap, inbuilt BT carkit) and plug the phone with 3,5 jack into the front AUX-in. Also supports A2DP, you could keep it with your next phone

Thanks, but if I decide to invest in an aftermarket stereo, I'm getting an
Alpine iDA-X001 
Compatible with USB devices, iPods, HD radio, satellite radio,
(handsfree and A2DP), and my factory steering wheel radio controls

Mmmm... nice! I've always liked Alpine Headunits especially the 3 disc in-dash units.
Did you realise that Headunit
doesn't include A2DP or BT handsfree as standard? You'll need this optional accessory:
KCE-300BT

Couldn't see any mention of A2DP / AVRCP on that site.
