I use this for my iphone and it works fantastic. Plays stereo bluetooth just like it does for an ipod. Can even use the iphone's bluetooth for phone calls at the same time. It also has the clips to hold the connector in place as some other brands do not. Great product Sony!

This took about 10 minutes to get set up and get connected to the base (receiver). For the receiver I use a Sony HWSBTA2W - Bluetooth wireless transmitter/receiver which operates very good. It was fairly easy to connect to the Sony HWSBTA2W though the instructions on it were a little ambiguous to me. As you don't hold the bluetooth connect and power button at the same time to get it in paring mode. You just hold the bluetooth pairing button for about 7 seconds (on the receiver, HWSBTA2W) until the lights start flashing for the connection process. Then hold the button on the iPod bluetooth unit while holding it close to the receiver and your good to go. (Make sure you iPod is on). Sound quality is very good with these two set up is Excellent.
I use a 30GB 5th or 5.5 generation Video iPod.

The product was easy to link up and I was at first happy, thinking "this works great," however I've experienced many interruptions in streaming music in the form of stops and starts which are apparently signal interruptions of some sort. They don't seem to be pinpointed to any particular type of location and it makes listening to music less than pleasant.

On top of that, just 40 days after purchase, the unit just stopped working. When pushing the button, I get no power. I get nothing. I'm in the process now of getting it replaced via warranty with Sony, but that's still not going to solve the intermittent problem.
