Now you can use your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone with your Panasonic head unit without ever picking up your phone to answer. The CY-BT100U works with compatible Panasonic car stereos to let you answer incoming calls — hands free.
The kit includes the a Bluetooth antenna, a talk switch, and a microphone that can be clipped to your vehicle interior (sun visor for example). Once the system is installed and the setup is configured for the first time, you will simply have to turn on your phone when you get in the car, and the Bluetooth connection will connect itself. To answer a call, you will only have to press the dash-mountable talk switch when you get a call.
If you want to use more than one accessory (such as this Bluetooth piece AND a SIRIUS Satellite Radio kit), then you will need to purchase the purchase the Panasonic CY-EM100U auxiliary expansion module to work with the Panasonic stereo. The CY-EM100U also can control an iPod, CD Changer and satellite radio (SIRIUS or XM).
Note: For safety reasons, the CY-BT100U will only work on incoming calls. You can't place a call via the wireless connection or while your phone is connected to the system.

When paying $150 + for a Bluetooth adapter, you expect to get a lot. The ability to have your deck pick up phone calls is great and the answer/hang up switch is awesome. I do wish this unit was a little more clear. I have it turned up almost all of the way, and there are still times that I miss words or even whole sentences. Still, it beats any stand-alone hands-free product I've used and I don't have to worry about muting my music when getting a call. It's also very easy to connect my phone each time my car starts up.
Good product, but only if you have the money. A good headset and a 'mute' button will work just as well.
