Pioneer DEH-P880PRS or DEH-P7900BT

Sounds like you're narrowing down then.. bluetooth is nice, though I can't speak to how well these BT pioneers work.. probably great. I'm seeing both 790BT's for a little over $300 and the 880 at $325. Those two are fairly close in price. Yeah theres a big jump to either 9800 or 980 BT.. up in the mid to high $400's

i'm probably gonna go with the 880 for the sound quality and because its not offered at many electronic stores.

I'm bumping this because I need to have some Q's answered regarding the Bluetooth in the 980BT and 790BT.

PA just made it illegal to carry a cell phone in your hand while driving (meaning, no talking, has to be handsfree or you get a ticket.). So, for X-mas I want to get my Fiancee a Head unit that comes ready to go, no need for add-ons or extra expenses. I eventually want to get a 980BT myself, but that is a few months off from now.

Anyways, does the 790BT come ready to use handsfree? How does it work? Does it need a microphone, or does it come with one? So, if she recieves a call, can she answer, then talk with just the headset? I'd prefer to get her the 790BT because I'm short on funds, but it MUST be able to be used handsfree with the V-phones (Verizons top phone).

yes, both the 7850bt and 9850bt are both bluetooth decks, that come with a microphone that plugs into the back of the headunit, once a call has been answered on the deck you can ajust the volume of that call with the volume dial on the face.

depending on the phone you have and the bluetooth version of software it has, some phones are able to show the reception bars and battery life on the faceplate on the deck.
