so you use it to play music off your phone bluetooth? or do you plug it in? i have the dice ipod now. i was going to leave an ipod plugged into the mediabridge and use my iphone4 to listen to sirius (howard stern and my right wing talk radio) and hands free phone. hows the sound quality?
thanks

Are you playing a MP3 on your iPhone or streaming audio?

With the 1500 you can play music over bluetooth. This can be either Mp3s or streaming audio (Pandora, Slacker Radio, etc.). The sound quality is good, around radio quality - not as good as if you plug it in.

From what I understand, streaming audio (Pandora) will not display artist/title on the MID display. Only Mp3s will show those items.

Bought a MB1500 from EAS. Still working on installing this.

I had a question for the EAS guys:

- for X5 microphone placement, can you put it inside the console above? (see attached picture -- in that area with the grille). Would I face it directly down?

- how many phones can you pair with the MediaBridge at one time? If >1, how do you determine which one has priority?

Thanks

We've done this before, you can install the mic behind the grille and secure it in place with hot glue. This gives an 100% OEM presence.

Max paired phones is 4 units, the MediaBridge will always connect with the phone that was paired last if 2> phones are present at the same time.

Thank-you sir.

1) With mic that way, do you have any issues with noise level, etc? is there a way to adjust microphone gain?

2) how do you manage what phones are paired? or if you pair more than 4 phones, etc, does it knock the old ones off? thanks.

1. We noticed no difference in sound quality with stealth mic placement.

2. The 1st paired phone will be bumped from the profile when a 5th phone is paired.

Thanks Tom!

I'm playing MP3's when I am looking for the song data. All I see is "playing". Nothing about the song or artist.

Are you playing the MP3 while connected or streaming via A2DP?
