Mike, have you tried the Bluetooth speakers by Motorola and Jabra? Also, Radio Shack has a Bluetooth adapter by a company called Carbo. It goes for $49.95, and I got it to pair up with a friends Motorola headset. I used it on the Pacmate with StreetTalk. It works, but I am still new to GPS, so I am going to wait to play with this more until I can get a better handle of what I am doing. It generally isn't a good thing to add too many things to the mix all at once.

You press that and put your earpiece in discover mode. There is never a need for a pairing code. So many devices use 0000, it could be that it defaults to that.
