Is200 With Sat Nav - Bt Car Kits?

Caspa · February 3, 2005

I have an IS200 with Sat Nav and I want to get a Bluetooth Carkit for it. Only issues I have are whether it can be fed through the speakers and if its possible for it to mute the stereo also... All kit in the car is Lexus kit... Ive been told no to both queries but just want some Lexus Guru's opinion!!!

Cheers...

The search button is your friend! :)

I have a BT phone kit (Nokia) and it mutes the radio. Putting it through the speakers is a little tricky as it depends on if you have the radio with or without the external amplifier. It is apparently possible with the non-external amplifier radio.

Like I said, search is your friend :)

See my sig below, a link to my review of a Sony Ericsson car kit, also my views on the Bluetooth one. All your answers lie within ;)

but in short, if you have an amp (mine is a 2003 SE) like mine then yes you have to use the external speaker, and yes it does mute the stereo when a call is in progress.

Sat Nav throws a spanner in the works though...
