Can the GOgroove BlueGATE be used to respond to a cell phone call or to make a call from cell phone via a car radio or sound system?

No, but GOgroove produces the SMARTmini AUX that does both audio streaming and hands-free calling. I upgraded from the bluegate to the smartmini for that exact reason, that, and the fact the smartmini plugs directly into the aux jack without hanging down my console by that flimsy cord... my 1st generation bluegate got caught on my popout cup holder and the cord ripped out from its plug exposing the wires and causing the signal/power to cut in and out. And Amazon sells the SMARTmini for $10 less - a no brainer WIN WIN scenario for me!

No, it only supports A2DP. It would need AVRCP for control of the playback from the receiver. It would need HSP or HFP for calling. It would also need more buttons and a microphone.

Yes. This unit is not for phone calls at all. As long as your phone can support multiple bluetooth devices simultaneously, you'll be fine. I use it in the same manner as you described - car for phone calls, Griffin for music. It's great! I don't even know it's there anymore.

From a computer yes from a cell phone no, a blue tooth speaker will better fit your needs.

Yes. It behaves like any OEM bluetooth based car phone system - which is appropriately prioritizing the call over the radio music.

Yes. You can take phone calls. The BlueAnt Pumps do a good job. When music is playing and a phone call comes in, music stops as call comes in. Push play/pause button to answer. No problem hearing person and vise versa.

I believe both at the same time however, this product can only do music. You can have a bluetooth headset, car headset or any other device that can take calls connected at the same time this device is connected.

If your cell phone has Bluetooth capability, the answer is yes. This is a fantastic speaker for the price.

No but you can by an adaptor and play music from your phone through your speakers in your car.

If you computer, laptop, or notebook support Bluetooth, it can be used, the headset has a built in microphone, it's also usable with a cell/smart phone with Bluetooth. GoGroove Headsets are quite good, good sound quality with plenty of volume if you need it.

I use Android and on my phone there are separate bluetooth profiles for "Phone audio" and "Media Audio", so when pairing the Bluetrip with the phone you can select whether you want to use it for phone calls, music, or both. Not sure if this also applies to your phone, but since bluetooth is an open standard, I'd assume so.

I imagine it is possible provided the vehicle has a programmable device that can be set to communicate with the opener. I doubt it would work with a smart phone but today anything is possible. For me it was a replacement because of a close lightning strike. I think the other response give you a better idea as it worked for them.

yes, it can answer or call out on either a bluetooth device or a land line.

It does support music as well as phone calls. But it needs to use car speaker because this unit itself does not have speaker. It uses car speaker.

When I got it, I just got it to play music. Since it did not work for me and I returned it, I'm not sure if it works is a hands free blue tooth device for calls... Sorry!
