I *think* there's built in bluetooth - but I know some people have been having issues with the microphone not picking up their voice.

I have tried to turn on the bluetooth and it just says it is turning on but them goes back to off. That is why I was wondering if it had built in or if it is looking for the usb bluetooth.

The bluetooth for the 4.0 does not work, only works for the 2.3.4. That is even with the bluetooth dongle which I ordered from him. Tomorrow I will have some time to see if I can work around it with an app or something, but right now doesn't work. It may work for streaming music, haven't had a chance to try that yet.

At least I know I am not just being an idiot. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't turn on.

So basically if you want all the new features that come with 4.0, you lose your bluetooth

Pretty much. Had everything working but the microphone in the 2.3.4. I did the upgrade and now hopefully only for a short time, will be without some of the other gadgets. But if that means it all gets fixed and I can help him do it, I'm okay with it.

They've already stated that they are working on it I believe.

No I know, but they shouldn't have suggested people update when there's a huge issue with the software.

Damn really wish this thing worked better than it does. Biggest problem I have with MyLink is the lack of a CD player and the other aftermarket units are just too ugly.

So I checked the streaming and it works, use the icon BT2. Paired right up. So now back to the iGo, microphone and OBD2.

You can't just put your CD's onto a flash drive?

Sure. At reduced quality.

My issue is having the music I want to listen to when I want to listen to it. I've got about 10Gb of music on my phone that I play through my stereo. But the last few days, when getting ready to leave, I decided that I wanted to listen to a different album than what's on my phone. It takes so damn long to transfer an album to my phone, that I just grab the CD and go.

I want to but the problem is I own way too may to fit on one that our cars can read. If I remember correctly, these cars can read up to a few thousand songs off a flash drive. I really wish I could put all 14,000 songs of mine on one and be good. I have all my CD's ripped to my computer in FLAC format so there's no quality loss, but unfortunately the only way to get all of them in one place that the car can actually utilize is by putting them on my iPod, which has a preamp that screws up the audio quality that I can't get rid of.
