Handsfree mobile phone via USB port & Bluetooth adaptor

[guest3155]

My 2009 Jazz EX has the "standard" in car entertainment setup without mobile phone function.

Can I fit a bluetooth adaptor to the USB port and use my mobile phone via this?

I think not. I believe the only things the car's USB socket will recognise are iPods and memory sticks. It's not as versatile as the USB socket on a computer. I have a 2010 EX and it won't recognise my HTC phone as an external device if I connect it to the USB socket, though my computer does.

The previous owner of my car had a Parrot Bluetooth device fitted to the car and wired into the audio system (it's still there and I use it sometimes). I presume they wouldn't have done that if they could have just plugged something into the USB socket.

By the way, did you read my post about the space-saver spare wheel issue?

CaseyJones,

Thanks for your comments both on this & the spare wheel issue, which BTW is fully resolved.

Like you I feel that Honda UK want to squeeze as much out of owners as possible. During my recent
purchase I was given the hard sell on:

GAP Insurance
Scoctchguard Protection
Extended Warranty
Service plan
