Check out the stereo system in Phil’s car

Phil Schwarzmann from See into S60 posted a picture (nice MS Paint skillz) of the car audio setup he has, mainly consisting of a Nokia E70 and a Blaupunkt deck. A Nokia Audio Adapter AD-46 is used to bridge the connection which is done over a plain old 3.5 mm headphone jack cable.

With the rise of cell phones that are music capable when do you think car audio manufactures are going to catch on and create decks with BlueTooth 2.0 EDR? More importantly when is Nokia going to release a phone that has BT 2.0+EDR? Will it ever be easy enough that when we get in our car, our deck automatically finds the phone in our pocket, and then shows us our tunes? We can only hope. More than half of the 2007 car models here in the states will be iPod compatible. Ouch.

I have a friend with a car pc, wicked little thing, that automatically syncs his folder of mp3’s whenever he parks his car within range of his wifi access point. That’s what I call freaking cool.

      I’ve been known to stream internet radio from various S60 phones through the aux jack on my stereo in my car, over the wonderful EDGE connection T-Mobile provides ;)

      I have T-Mobile, never really tried streaming radio over anything but wifi, does it work? In my bandwidth tests I can’t get anything past 20 KB/s
