My question is whether or not I can be playing MP3's through my truck's speadkers using the Nuvi, then it would interrupt itself when voice prompts are given, or a phone call comes in, and will it let me hear a phone conversation on the trucks speakers if hooked up through an audio jack.

Sorry for the complicated question, but if I know a unit will do this, I'm buying one immediately.

Thanks
There's a standard headphone jack on the Nuvi. This can be used as an audio output. This worked like a charm for me over the weekend. I added an auxiliary port on our '04 Honda Pilot to accept an mp3 player and it works perfectly. I was able to play my mp3s from my Nuvi (added a 4GB SD card) and made/received phone calls via the bluetooth function. All the calls were routed onto the stereo speakers. At least for my scenario, it really helped maxing out the volume on the Nuvi and then controlling the volume of my car stereo. (Low volume from the Nuvi's headphone jack provided less than stellar results through my car speakers.)

Hope this helps,
Mike
