I'm pretty sure that none of the Fit Navis have Bluetooth, not just the 2011.

You need to replace your head unit / audio deck to get bluetooth. I got a nice double-din JVC that has bluetooth, and the sound quality is also ASTRONOMICALLY better.

I'm using this...

BlackBerry - Bluetooth Visor - Bluetooth Handsfree Speakerphone at BlackBerry.com

Works well and can also be used with the FM tuner and even displays the phone number via RDS. Since it transmits FM I use it with my Blackberry to listen to podcats and Pandora. Sound quality is on par with an average FM station. Good enough for a relatively inexpensive solution.

I've had three different Bluetooth Setups in the FIT. the first was a Rechargable Parrot Minikit slim which I am now using with my blackberry (work phone). works fine while I'm on the road.

I also used my Garmin GPS with Bluetooth built in back before I had my Droid X2 as I primarily use the X2 for navigation now. The sound quality was good but every time i updated the Garmin, I had to re-pair the phone.(about 3-4x/year)

Now with the droid X2 in the Car, I use a belkin Bluetooth audio adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bluetoo...9189322&sr=8-2
i leave the X2 in my pocket for my short drive to work and just hit the button. for longer drives, I drop the Droid in the Cradle to maintain the battery, use the GPS, and enable the audio(Streaming wireless to the aux input).

I find it convenient to use the belkin since my phone is my primary audio device in the car now (instead of usb)

I'd probably go Parrot hard-wire or double-din stereo if I spent more time in the car and used other devices for audio. I'm not in the car enough anymore to warrant it.
