streaming bluetooth audio

mcphelps

Not to hijack the thread, but I bought this device for my '09 Touring with NAV, based on your post. I put it in the console and connected to the AUX RCA's using the provided cable, and use the 12V "lighter" socket in the console with a 2 port usb adapter to power it (one port for this, one for charging a phone), so it's all self contained within the console. It works great! A couple of features:

Bluetooth pairing using NFC works great, but can still pair with a phone manually.

The device automatically reconnects to the last device that it was connected to.

The car's bluetooth pairing with the phone is still active, meaning my phone is paired to the car for calls, and to this box for audio streaming at the same time.

I'm going to try to find shorter cables, as the cable bundles take up more room in the console that this box does, but right now it out of sight; out of mind...
