    i've found problems with the ebay ones..especially software. do yourself a favor and get it from a regular store

    They're so cheap anymore. My Belkin bluetooth dongle was $29.95, the IOGear was (I think) $19.95. They are both known brands, and I never have problems with them on eithr of two pc's.

    It's nice going online thru phone, even tho it's a bit slow. Bottom line, when there's no hispeed conn available, bluetooth works OK.

    I don't have microphone cable run for my carpc yet, but the hands-free works...

    Best of luck and blessings.
    Happy CarPC'ing!
