Hello Fordboy_52,

I just finished paying off the daughters car , and now it's time to upgrade my ride. I am looking to do 2 things, upgrade from the stock 6 CD system in my 04, and get a wired bluetooth for the cell phone. I have used and looked at alot of the stand alone bluetooth systems but I'm not satisified with their operation. I've been loking at getting a new system that already has bluetooth integrated for ease of installation and to mute the system with calls.

I've seen that the new AVIC-Z1 will have bluetooth and the Parrot Rythym and Blue has it also. All of the other systems that have BT capability need add ons to work. Doesn't seem to be a lot of options out there based on my searches.
