Best affordable Bluetooth car stereo units for your Android, iPhone, BlackBerry or Windows Phone
If you can't throw money on a new car with a fancy AppLink, MyLink, Blue Link, Entune, or any other of the myriad "link" infotainment systems or iPhone docks all car makers are integrating these days, and you don't want to limit yourself to the auxiliary jack, or, heaven forbid, the cassette adapter, a new head unit is your best bet for the modernity of smartphones to arrive in your trusted old ride.
These now come with Bluetooth connectivity and are no longer expensive for the features they open in front of you via the Bluetooth radio on your smartphone. You can stream music, take phone calls, manage the stereo, and all goes through the speakers of your car instead of the wimpy unit on your phone, which, save for the HTC One, have proven to be mostly lousy. We are rounding up some of the more affordable Bluetooth-equipped head units that can communicate with your phone gizmo, but don't skimp on features.
