I just received a bluetooth car kit I ordered from Amazon. (Motorola T605). I plan to try and install it tonight, but have 2 concerns:
1) The install guide suggests a 3rd party harness for connecting this device to the car stereo for the purpose of routing calls through the existing speakers. It doesn't give any clue as to who would make such a harness, or what kind of connectors it needs, etc. Is that a standardized item? i.e. Can I just walk into Best Buy or a local car audio place and ask for an accessory harness for a 2002 chrysler? It looks like I should be able to cut and splice everything I need, but if I can get a harness reasonably, that would be easier/cleaner.
2) This device will also take stereo audio from a2dp bluetooth and push it through the stereo. To use that function, it has RCA outputs that need to go to line level RCA inputs. I haven't pulled the stereo out yet, but from what I can find online the factory unit (CD&Cassette) doesn't have these inputs. I have found several items though that seem to add that function, such as this one. Will that work, is it absolutely necessary, and can it be had for less money?
Thanks!
