I have a 2G iPod Touch running iOS4 and it works sporadically. Occasionally it will give a hiss of static and cut out all audio playback (even though the track is playing on the iPod). This is sporadic as a fault, but annoying when it affects me!

I've got an iPhone 3G on iOS 4.1 and the bluetooth works fine for handfree calling and music streaming. Also works well through the USB cable, plus track names come up on the unit itself.

It is a great machine and I am very happy with it!

however a little dissappointed it doesnt have DAB as I typed digital radio in the search bar when looking to purchase a new stereo and this came up, there is no information available on whether this is analogue or digital so for the less technology savvy so assumed because it came up in the search it would be digital

No, the head unit has a mic built in, but you can connect an external mic.

Mic is built in, so if using in a car should be ok, is for me in an Astra. If using in a large van or noisier car, you might want / need to plug in an external mic.

No it usually works fine in most situations with the built in mic.
External microphones are available should you require one.

Microphone for Sony MEXBT3800U Bluetooth CD Radio with iPod Connection

Where does the microphone actually attach to on the radio and where does it sit in the car?

There's an internal microphone on the unit itself, try this first before buying the external mic as I've found the internal mic works just fine. The external mic plugs into the back of the stereo (It'll be obvious which plug it goes in) and the mic itself should be clipped just above you, maybe on the sun visor.

The microphone fits into the rear of the unit and should be placed at a convenient place to speak into.

Question

Will the top dash screen still work in my 207?

My 207 uses a screen on top of the dash for the radio - with this Sony HU the radio details will obviously be shown on the new HU screen.

However, normally on the 207 the dash screen also shows trip computer details, mpg etc - will this still work when the new one is plugged in?

If I buy this HU and the trip computer stops displaying, can I return the HU once it has been fitted and removed?

Thanks :)

This head unit appers to support Passenger mode.
Please see the Sony site for details :-
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/ica-b...

Sony web site says against the BT3800U :-
Passenger mode lets people travelling with you take charge of track selection, directly via your iPod or iPhone player controls
