Is anyone using a GPS with bluetooth successfully in a JK? I'm thinking about the Garmin Nuvi 265T (it has traffic, bluetooth, text to speech). I'm wondering if it will be loud enough or if the caller will be able to hear me.

Thanks,

I have the nuvi 265wt.. it works ok as a bluetoooth unit.. works well around town but the speaker is a bit quiet on the highway.. if you turn up the volume it crackles and distorts.. good GPS unit tho.

i bought it from buydig.com for something like $280 free shipping no tax

also, on garmin garage theres a 2 door wrangler lifted you can load onto the GPS for the vehicle icon

Racer, are you using a hard or soft top?

hardtop. im sure witht he soft top it would be worse, but I have been cruising around 75-80 lately since gas is cheaper, and my ears are shot

Anyone else have feedback on this topic?

BTW, I saw that Tigerdirect has the 265wt on sale this weekenf for $228. That's the best price I've seen yet.

i had wrong idea when i looked at this thread. my gps is bluetooth only. all it does is get info from the sats and sends the data over to my phone. my phone is what does my navigation, tracking, phone, data, etc.


woot for an all in 1 device from 2003.

Thanks for the info Mr.RonGilbert. The wife ordered a Garmin for me tonight. I got the 265wt. It doesn't have the FM modulator so we'll have to see how it goes!!! Thanks for the feedback fellas.

I have a Nuvi 360. I can really only use the Hands Free when I have it connected to my stereo. It isnt very loud otherwise....
