I used to have the headphone jack issues, but I have come up with a unique solution that has actually worked out really well...both by bypassing me ever having to use the headphone jack, and adding additional functionality for use in my car as well as when I am using headphones.
I purchased the Kyocera TXCKT10162 Bluetooth pendant, and it has worked out beautifully. It came with decent headphones, but since you are not tied to any particular ones, I can use my favorite pair of Sony's to listen to music, and still use them as a stereo bluetooth headset when I am mobile. And when I am in the car, I am now fully wireless! I hop in the car, and plug the Kyocera pendant into the aux in plug of my stereo and clip it to the dash and drop my Pre on the mounted Touchstone. My music, GPS, and calls are all routed through the car speakers, and the controls on the Kyocera allow me to pause/play, skip tracks(even in Pandora), and answer calls without having to touch the phone. The icing on the cake...never having to use the headphone jack, thus no risk of getting stuck in headset mode.
As with anything, it is not perfect. I still have a wire protruding from my stereo, and sometimes the Bluetooth connection seems to get 'confused', where it will do calls through the car speakers, but still plays music through the internal speaker. Usually I just unpair and re-pair them and it fixes the issue, and it is rare that this happens. So a possible solution for those of you who are going through Pres like underwear....
