Can I use this and the Bluetooth hands free connection at the same time?

Yes, you can. Remember device works with 1996 to 2012! It is well worth it has saved many trips to dealership. If you get download dash command. You can clear codes and more.

As long as your devices have Bluetooth capability, yes you can connect any two devices at one time.

No, it uses the newer Bluetooth low energy protocol, not regular Bluetooth so both can be used at the same time. I have confirmed this in my vehicle.

Although I don't have bluetooth headphones to verify this for certain, it seems unlikely that you will be able to do that based on a couple of pieces of suggestive evidence - (1) the bluetooth mode is switched on by a button marked "Source" that switches the unit between FM, bluetooth, and auxiliary input. As far as I can tell, there's no way of keeping both the FM and the bluetooth on at the same time. (2) The manual makes no mention of any bluetooth transmission functionality. So, I'm pretty sure that this thing can use bluetooth for audio on receiving mode only.

Yes you can but as the others answers state you need to use a Bluetooth device as the source

No. If you try to use both at the same time with Bluetooth it will disconnect the bluetooth connection to both. Even if it would work you still would get the same sound on each not a stereo.

I use it with an Android and a BlackBerry at the same time and yes it is able to be used hands free... but not all functions. After it is all set up you can answer incoming calls by saying Answer or Decline. If you want to make a call you need to tap the main button once and then it goes into Voice Mode... all you need to say is a simple command and it goes to work for you... very cool system!

Yes, if i understand your question correctly. It does not interfere with any hands free activity you would want to use with it. It's just an iphone HOLDER, that's it.

yes. just remember you connect by wifi. not bluetooth. it took me about an hour to figure that out when i first tried it

Yes definitely. While plugged in, I can play music, use navigation apps, and make phone calls with Bluetooth. No interference of any kind in my experience!

Yes. But you can only connect to one at a time. That is a limitation of Bluetooth.

You can use both, but not at the same time. There is a button that defines which you are using. When you press that button and the light comes on you are using the headset, hit the button again and you are using the handset.

The only way to use the stereo bluetooth to make a phone call is through the mic that is supplied with the unit. This is the only make it truly handsfree.

yes - and you can leave the wire connected (such as for computer connection as I do) and then connect with your phone via bluetooth. The bluetooth connection takes priority if both are connected.

I am afraid no. This is a mono bluetooth type, could only connected to make phone calls.

Hi, I too got the same question since this is an important info missing in the technical details and top reviews.. However when I checked all the reviews here , I saw two customers wrote of having been able to connect headset with this fone. But the most helpful to me was this : "I use a headset for handsfree work but the problem was that could not connect both cell and headset simultaneously. Thus, could only answer cell calls with handset or landline calls with headset. Get most of my calls to cell number so it was a big inconvenience to lose the headset/handsfree."
