These are branded Blackberry, but should work for other devices with Bluetooth.

I use a Motorola version of this to wirelessly stream mp3's and movie audio to my aux input on my boat's stereo. Mine cost $100 a couple of years ago.

If your laptop has bluetooth, or you get a little dongle for about $15, this should work.

You will need to buy a 12v car cord or 120v adapter, depending on your setup.

Couldn't find it -- Amazon has the stupidest search engine in the industry. Do you have a link?

Found it. It seems to be $40, still a good deal. Thanks.

That was $20 yesterday...

I think Amazon automatically jacks up the price when people start buying something. Total BS.

I bought an Optima commercial battery for Liz's car, a diesel that needs a lot of cranking in the cold, for $208 on Amazon, with free shipping. Terrific deal. Next day I looked again to get some dimensions, and it was $285 plus $40 shipping. Hmm.

I bought a bluetooth interface for the hifi (for a lot more money), and it works both directions so I can play the cellphone over the hifi (why, I don't know) or use a set of bluetooth headphones so that I can watch movies without disturbing anyone else.

There is a slight delay in the signal to the headphones. It is a problem when someone wants to watch with the volume turned up a bit, but not up enough for me. The girls have young ears, I do not. The signal reaching the phones clashes with the sound from the set because they are not in sync. When I watch by myself I turn the set volume all the way down, and no problem. The delay in the headphone sound doesn't bother me, it is slightly out of sync with the picture but not horribly so. But one CANNOT listen to the bluetooth-ed signal at the same time as the original. So be careful how you plan to use it.

Amazon has a deal where you can get a couple of years of 2nd day delivery for $75. They got a limited selection of boat seats that I may be able to use to finish restoring the flybridge on my project 32'. The shipping deal should pay off if you live in an area where shopping is limited.
