Bluetooth Speakers?

[Reg Reich]

I am debating buying an LG HFB 500 Bluetooth Car speaker. It is quite unique as it is solar powered battery charger as well as in car charger. Before I purchase I want to know if anyone has one & how does it work. It is suppose to be able to multi connect to up to 2 phones. What I really need to know. Can I use the Bluetooth hookup from the TomTom 920T to the speaker & too my cell phone. I find the volume of the TomTom to low to hear clearly in my diesel truck at highway speeds. It would realy be nice if I could direct my phone through my radio speakers when in 'Hands Free' mode. Any help would be appreciated. I may just have to call LG & see what they can tell me about my requirements.
Thanks in advance for all your input.

I'm not sure it will work with both devices. I have a Jabra SP700 speakerphone and it will not connect to a cell phone and the Tom Tom at the same time. You have to choose one or the other.

Yes, but the SP 700 is not a dual signal speaker. The LG HFB500 is. I have also found one by Motorola that is designed to work through the vehicle Stereo system. I am getting more info on it as it may also be the answer I am looking for.
Thanks for your input. Hope more of you can also contribute to enable me to find what I am looking for. Will forward info on these devices as I find more to contribute.

OK. I think I have found the answer to my problem. The LG HBF500 will work by directing my Cell Phone through it instead of the TomTom. I have found the Motorola ROKR T505 can be directed through my truck FM & I can use the FM volume to control the loudness I may want. I think I willl buy one from Best Buy & try it. If I am not satisfied, Best Buy has a 30 day return policy. Can't seem to find one that will use the TomTom 920T & the Cell Bluetooth speaker at the same time.
Does anyone know if the Bluetooth feature of directing music through the FM will also direct my Cell through the FM?
