Why?
If you have a Bluetooth capable car stereo, there’s no real reason why you would try to install an Airport Express in your car. My previous car could stream music with bluetooth. Since 2 months I own a new car (a Peugeot RCZ) with (what I thought) state-of-the-art audio/video capabilities, thanks to the WIP COM 3D (with multimedia and navigation).
Apparently, it only supports bluetooth for telephone, not for streaming music
. So, if I want to play my iTunes songs, I had to convert them all to mp3, copy them to the internal car harddisk or an SD-card, and then… use the way playlists work in the car, t.i. sorted by song title. If I want to hear a song starting with a V, I could force my hand just by the number of turns on the huge button to make.
I’ve a MacBook Pro with a wireless Mighty Mouse (Apple’s own mouse), and often I experience a loss of connection after having put my mouse asleep and wake her up again. What I did then, was reconnect by letting the bluetooth configurator scanning for the mouse.

The other day, I read somewhere on a forum that you can easily reconnect the mouse just by clicking the button a few times. Duh… how simple is that? I realized that I never really did this, I just moved the mouse around in circles without result…
I have a MacBook Pro, and when I use it at my desk at home, I want to make as little connections as possible (I don’t have a docking station). The current connections I use when docking: DVI to my 22″ monitor, the power connector, and (when I need some good music) my speakers.
A couple of days ago I did an OS X software update. After the reboot, my wireless network (with a D-Link router) was found, but I couldn’t connect any more to the Worldwide Pool Of Wisdom (WWpoW). As I started to search the web (using a Windows XP laptop from my customer – oh irony), I discovered there where a lot of users with the same issues. There’s also an article on this.
