Parrot and Audio Panel

[AirbusPilot]

Hi folks,

Yesterday I was playing with my audio panel garmin 240 and is not compatible with iphone to make phone calls (works great with music), I tried a motorolla and worked but anyway I don?t like all that wires in the cockpit, so I have been thinking about installing a Parrot (Car handsfree phone adapter) that use bluetooth to interface my iphone with garmin 240.

Anyone has try it?, any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Fernando,

Not played with those particular components (though I am installing a Garmin 240 in my RV-7 so will be interested in how you get on).

For a while some time ago I did try to use a RAM-mounted PDA with mapping software connected to a bluetooth GPS receiver. It worked sporadically but the bluetooth connection was too unreliable for practical use.

Maybe today's bluetooth h/w-s/w is better but reconfiguring bluetooth pairings while flying is not something you want to be doing!!

Best of Luck,
