As soon as the call hangs up, music resumes.

Anybody like that Idea? This would also allow you to use it in conferencing scenarios as well.

For those with an older car stereo without a 3.5mm aux port, the Stereo Gateway can also be teamed with a cassette adapter. When one considers the cost involved, the sound quality is really quite good. Further, you can no more remotely control a car stereo with a standard aux port using an iPod than you can with a Blackberry. Finally, I seriously question the wisdom of moving control of car audio systems away from switches and knobs designed to be operated by feel while driving and toward the tiny, visually tuned controls found on most mp3 players. At best this idea raises serious safety concerns.

Unfortunately, that type of integration is uncommon due to cost and availability. The most common solution available in cars today, is the AUX port. For car with AUX ports, the BlackBerry Stereo Gateway provides an easy to use solution to wirelessly extend that AUX port, without compromising the intended quality of the AUX port with wired connection.
To your point regarding the extension of control functions to the car stereo unit, I certainly agree that this would provide a great experience. To enable this, the car stereo must support Bluetooth AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) on its own. The BlackBerry Stereo Gateway can enable music streaming, but it cannot extend controls to a stereo that was never intended to control an external audio device (mp3 player). Many BlackBerry models already support AVRCP, and are capable of extending basic control functions (play, pause, FF, RW) to an AVRCP enabled car stereo. When available this is a great feature to have in your car, but Bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP support is not as readily available as the AUX port just yet! But we can all expect that improved Bluetooth integration will become increasingly available in standard car stereos in days to come!
Thank you for the comment!
