Can this product be used with an iTouch, for listening to books?? Not sure what generation iTouch my Dad has, would like to give it to him as a gift. Does it matter?

If your talking about the built in microphone for the Bluetooth hands-free calling you don't have to plug anything in for that. If its not working the microphone is either defective or the setting in your phone are not allowing input from that microphone. What is the year make and model of your vehicle?

It comes with a mic that is connected to the unit, and routed where ever you want in the vehicle. It also worked without connecting the mic and using my phone for the mic while it played the sound through speakers.

Yes, it can hook up to hands free car kits, headphones, and speakers without any difficulties.I no longer use it as a phone; it is now a super-cool mp3 player that I use with bluetooth speakers.

I don't use it that way, but apparently it would be just like using a bluetooth headset with your cellphone in your car. You use the phone to dial, but you use the headset to speak and listen. Remember in the ancient days when telephones had a receiver, and you picked it up to talk and listen, but you dialed on the phone at the other end of the wire? It's just like that, but without a wire.

Let me say this for anyone who is wondering. All this does is broadcast whatever audio is coming through your source through an fm channel on your car. It has an ipod connector as well as a headphone cable output for any non ipod device. As long as your device has one of those two it should work perfectly. And yes you can use it for speaker phone. I suggest a bluetooth headset. The arm extends from the cigarette lighter so all you have to do is reach forward and hit accept for incoming call.

You can indeed. This hands free device uses radio signal to send your audio to your cars radio. You need only a radio and a port to plug the FM transmitter. Hope that helps. It is a fantastic device and has served me well for quite a while. :)

The device is basically a speaker that works with your cell phone. There are no voice commands like "answer" or "call." However, such commands on your cell phone will work and the results heard over the speaker. An aside, I bought a different product for my wife's consulting work and sent it back. This system is fantastic--clear to both you and the caller, very reliable. She loves it.

Not if you are using it to stream music. If you wish to answer calls and be hands free then it would be an issue as they will not be able to hear you.

You probably have to enable voice control or handsfree/carmode calling on your phone

I use it with my iphone and it only plays music/sound to videos. When a call comes through, I do not have the option of listening to the call through the car speakers, as far as I have been able to find.

Hi B., Sony Portable Speakers doesn't have phone capability for answering calls. Its main purpose is for producing sound from connected devices. -Vincent

It does have speaker/hands-free feature, if you can figure out how to implement it, it's not the easiest phone to access the features.

Typically no, this unit will broadcast from the phones audio out and into this device that they outputs it into the car speakers. I've never tried it with my phone for a call, but they sell other units that handle calls through bluetooth that have a better external microphone, etc.

m going to say yes on this. However I have not had the occasion to use the speaker phone sine I've had mine. In the basic instructions it says "When you are on a call, you can mute your phone by pressing the left soft key (you should see the "Mute" label positioned above the left soft key. To unmute the phone, press the left soft key a second time." By this, I can only assume that it will also work when the speaker phone option is being used because it mutes the microphone that you are talking into regardless of the phone speaker or the hand set that you are listening to.

This device helps with transferring music or sounds of video from a device to speakers. It does not help with answering the phone.

Yes. As long as your phone has A2DP Bluetooth, you can stream anything from your phone through your car radio. If your phone is not A2DP Bluetooth, there is a USB cable to allow you to stream through your car radio. But unless your phone is really old (over 5 years) it will work.
