I got too confused looking for how well and which one of the bluetooth units to get. Found the USB one and people mentioned how well it worked and also that it came with decent software and a warranty. It'll be here on Tuesday. Will give it a try on the wife's PT Cruiser and her older daughter's MR2 Spyder. Edited by JellyBeanDriver, Nov 19 2011, 09:13 PM.
