The Eclipse BT-E500 allows you to add hands-free calling to select Eclipse in-dash receivers (see our list below). The BT-E500 interface allows you to answer incoming calls and place outgoing calls with Bluetooth® enabled phones without having to pickup your phone. If you have MP3s stored on your cell phone, the BTE500 will allow you to seamlessly stream music through your stereo system.
All you need to do is plug the adapter into your Eclipse stereo, then mount the microphone and push-to-talk switch. Once you've installed the BTE500 properly, your Eclipse stereo will mute the music automatically each call and you'll be able to hear and speak to your caller through your microphone and car sound system. Drive safe and smart with both hands on the wheel.

I had a friend of mine purchase this product to use with his Eclipse deck, but he did not have a Toyota and did not want to cut the harness that comes with this unit. After trying to figure out a way around it, we ended up purchasing a generic wiring kit for his car, as well as the Metra 71-1761 wiring kit. In putting these two kits together, we essentially made an adapter to go from his car wiring harness to the factory Toyota harness, which this product plugged right into without a problem. No splicing, no mess. Clean install. And it worked out great.
I wanted to let everyone know about this option, as even the local installer guys wanted to tear apart the harness on the BT-E500 to attach it to a regular wiring kit. I think our solution is a much cleaner and neater solution, which leaves more options for the future...

Works great, especially with the new Oregon law for hands free. Can hear great, sound quality is good, only draw back would be no private conversation if others are in the truck but on the flipside all the occupants can talk to the person on the phone at once!

This is a base model product, it doent work good for a professional system, it doesnt work with amps. (No automatic mute for the sound with incoming calls) spend the extra money and buy a higher end model, the parrot system is good. Other than that it works great as long as you are not hooking up amps to the system.

When i first installed this I had an LG and when I texted the beeps would come through the speakers, after I switched to a blackberry it didn't do it anymore. Cracked the buttons off numerous times from leaning on them in the cab.
