"Supports Bluetooth headset, handsfree and A2DP profiles"
As far as I can read, the page indicates that it has support for HSP [bluetooth headset profile] as well as A2DP. If this is indeed the case, you should be able to use the device in HSP mode or A2DP. That being said, HSP is limited to 64kbps mono, so the quality may be lacking, though functional especially if tone detection isn't your strong suit [certainly isn't mine either].

I don't suggest playing with the A2DP hacks unless you are willing to dig deep and put up with the caveats. If you simply want to get stereo over BT then you might be disappointed. Much easier to plugin a cable and it sounds way better anyway. I hope they get this working and hope they have used the work already done by folks around here.

So will a device like the one linked to in the first post ever be supported? (either officially or decently via a hack)

Edit: just tested; uses the N800's mic, which may be suboptimal. So if you've got:
- The N800 placed where the mic can pick up your voice
- A (stereo-output, 3-conductor) A2DP dongle
- Some A2DP device to play that
- And a BT HSP headset tie-wrapped to the steering wheel

With a 3-pole jack for sure the onboard mic functions and that works well although it isn't noise canceling. The mic sound is fairly good and with headphones the sound is great.
BT on the other hand, bleh if you want good stereo from any source and handsfree voice calls. This is the hope of diablo or at least my hope for diablo.
So I would like to hear from users what capabilities and quality you can get from a BT transmitter in the AV jack. I'll wager that stereo and handsfree aren't working but I hope I'm wrong.
I'm looking for the functionality (including phone) and sound of the included buds but without the wires. I don't see an option yet.
