    Default Car adapter for Treo 650

    I'm giving up on the concept of pairing my Treo with an air bud. When I wear sun glasses its just too clumsy. I need advice in choosing a car adapter that is compatible with my 650. Can anyone make a recommendation for an adapter that:
    • is easy to install
    • has a a great (ok I'll lower my expectations) Good speaker quality
    • easy to use
    • allows for Voice Dialing!!!!
    Recommendations are GREATLY appreciated

    I gave up on car kits. I think the cabin noise in my car is too loud (could be that aftermarket non-resonated exhaust ) and the mic doesnt filter out noise as well as headsets.
    But if you're driving in a luxury car that separates the outside environment from the cabin, then it would probably work well.
    I would stay away from the Sony-Ericson HB-330 that I had (i think thats the model). I dont think its compatible.

    Default BT car kits

    Palm has a page listing supported car kits. I hear good things about the latest Parrot product, but I have no personal experience with any of them.
    BT car kits are all fairly easy to set up, and meet your 4 criteria.

    I'm in the process of reviewing the Supertooth II. I'd say it's a minimalist version of a car kit. I haven't used it enough yet to form an opinion yet.

    It was easy to set up... no different than a headset.

    Thanks for the replies. Chris, I was reading about the Supertooth II and it doesn't say anything about voice dialing or tags. Can this be done with the Supertooth? Thank YOU!

    You'd have to rely on the Treo 650 for voice dialing -- it's more or less a speakerphone for the car. I like the Bluetooth part of it. No wires or difficult installations. It just sits on my visor. I still haven't had a chance to use it that much yet, so I can't comment on voice quality.
