I think my 08 GT bluetooth does not have bluetooth audio feature in 09. Could I get bluetooth audio feature just by software upgrade or I need to upgrade the hardware as well? How can I get the upgrade?
I would like to know this as well and also whether the latest non-nav bluetooth can access the cell phone contacts. I have the non-nav.

I doubt that Mazda would go through so much trouble to let you update new profiles to support A2DP and AVRCP. I don't think anyone know a definitive answer yet (other then Mazda engineers).
However, I have used A2DP headset with my HTC Fuze phone.
To tell you the truth, which would you downgrade your music from CD quality to FM quality? Besides, A2DP consumes power 2X that of regular BT. You will find your cell phone running low in a matter of 1 hour.
In my 09 GT w/Nav, I transferred my wife's phonebook to the car via BT when I first set up the phone. It does not maintain sync with the phone after that, but did the job in getting the entries loaded. She has a LG ENV2.
I also occasionally use the BT audio from either my Blackberry Curve or the LG ENV2. I directly compared the sound between the aux jack and the BT inputs. In my non-expert opinion, I think the sound is better than FM, and on-par with a direct connection to the aux jack.
Nope, the 07s and 08s don't have phone book transfer.
