Sony MEX-BT5000

The MEX-BT5000 car audio head unit is designed for the truly mobile lifestyle. The first Sony head unit with Bluetooth® wireless technology, it automatically links to any Bluetooth® mobile phone and provides handsfree calls with crystal clear sound. Phone book data from the handset also appears on the BT5000’s high-visibility screen, so you can make and receive calls during a journey without even taking your phone out of your pocket. Support for the Bluetooth® OPP (Object Push Protocol) also allows the wireless transfer of up to fifty phone book contacts to the head unit itself.

An integrated microphone in the unit picks up the user’s voice and removes the need for any further wiring within the car, greatly simplifying installation. Stylishly minimal design and a full motion fluorescent (FL) display give the BT5000 a highly distinctive look very different to previous Sony head units.

Smart handsfree isn’t all the BT5000 can do. Show it a mobile phone or music player that supports Bluetooth® audio streaming and it will retrieve and play music too. The head unit offers essential playback control (Play/Pause, Skip, fast forward/back) over the remote source, placing your music collection right at your fingertips. Next-generation music phones like the Sony Ericsson W950 Walkman phone already offer audio streaming via Bluetooth® wireless technology, and are compatible with the BT5000.
