2010 bluetooth/usb

[rob_86]

Hello all, after a couple of years of Civic ownership I am potentially looking at upgrading back to an Accord (although this time diesel auto guise). My question is how does the Bluetooth work on 2010 models? On the civic it's phone calls only, but ideally I'd like it to play podcasts through it, which I used to do in the accord via x-car link. Also, do the ex models have usb slots and if so how does the car handle an iPod? Is it able to Show track names on the screen?I've got the shortlist down to a passat cc, Mazda 3 (manual so not ideal) and the accord.

Yep phone calls only on the Accord, no bluetooth streaming. There is a USB socket in the central armrest box, and an aux socket. Charges iPhone etc and shows track names.
Does not work with Android, so I have my songs on a USB stick.
Have a good read around about the idtec auto, some struggle to get 40mpg out of it. Depending on your mileage, petrol might be better.
