Bluetooth Hands Free Visor Kit?

[olds]

Effective, 07/08 California requires all auto drivers to use a hands free kit while driving.
I have heard of kits that mute the stereo and allow you to take a call when one is received. I don't see them on Verizon's site.
Is such a unit available via Bluetooth so that no wiring is needed? Or even wired?

These are some selections of blue thooth hands free devices. I like the one where you clip it on the sunvisor, easy to use and very clear.

if you want one that mutes your stereo you either need a BT enabled head unit, or you have to get your current head unit rewired, there's no way around this. Motorola, Parrot and a bunch of other companies do make BT speaker units you can mount in your car and if you're fine with manually turning down the radio you'll be okay. Only problem there, if you listen to your music at a decent volume it'll be very hard to hear that the phone is actually ringing.

Integration with a head unit is the best, having it mute the music when an incoming call is detected is great.

Still haven't found anything I like and the deadline draws near. Seen a couple with an LED screen and that looks promising.

We've been testing the Parrot visor unit with mixed results. We also have one car with the Parrot 3100 kit installed. It works better but still isn't all that great in my opinion. Personally i'll just be using the speakerphone or not at all.

Work just gave me a new phone and the Motorola T305 for the visor. It's kind of plain.

I Have a blueAnt supertooth III.
its has text to speech and voice recognition, so it'll annouce the incoming caller and you can say OK or ANSWER . handsfree ftw.

it comes with a clip to the visor, the unit itself has 2 magnets so it sticks to that clip.

What's the difference between the 3 & the light? I can't find the 3 anywhere, and yet the light is everywhere.
