Not much progress here, life keeps getting in the way.

Does anybody have any experience using Bluetooth for audio streaming? Specifically Music/Podcast, I don't want to hear about call quality. A Kenwood receiver I'm looking at looks fairly good but it doesn't have a front AUX port, plus I like the idea of using my steering wheel controls to skip while in Bluetooth.

I still will use my iPod for my personal music collection, but I like streaming Podcast and occasionally letting Pandora do the DJing.

I've pondered Morels, Focals, Sony (GS), Image Dynamics, PHD, SEAS Prestige, Silver Flute... 

Then finally I made up and mind and online ordered (yesterday) the JBL MS-62C component kit. . . People rave about theme, so I have high expectations lol

A little update, back in June I actually gave up and decided not to upgrade my audio system. Maybe because of a little depression, and burn-out in life. Over the labor day weekend, I went down to Kentucky oh to visit a friend, and he has a HHR with a very clean audio setup; needless to say, it sounded so well that I'm jumping back in.

Still have that Sony receiver, USB port doesn't work and now the screen (LCD?) occasionally doesn't come on... still has sound lol. Will be replacing it with a Kenwood DDX371.

I'm in planning stage for now; nothing fancy since I'm somewhere between a beginner and intermediate when it comes to audio. Ultimately I may get frustrated and have my heart broken, or hopefully everything turns out alright.
