Kenwood DNX6980
 

My question: Is there some adapter I can plug in to my head unit's USB that will enable Bluetooth streaming audio from my phone? Any other ideas?

More info: I had a Kenwood DNX6980 installed in my 370Z (base+sport) on Saturday. It's pretty cool. The only thing I was pissed to find out is that the "built-in bluetooth" is ONLY for connecting the telephone part of your devices. Streaming audio isn't supported! How dumb is that.. even my old single-din Sony had BT audio.

I did have a USB port installed in my cubby hole. Is there some adapter I can get that will imitate Bluetooth streaming audio from my phone?

The head unit doesn't even have an Aux-in. I want to listen to my phone's podcasts. (Android .. Samsung Captivate)

Nav and CMOS-300 backup camera are pretty cool, though. But for all the money I spent on this thing, I can't believe it doesn't do BT audio streaming. Any ideas?

I just read the description on the amazon link and it says "The latest Parrot Bluetooth module is built into the DNX6980, and is capable stereo audio streaming".

Yeah well that seller must be lying! Even in the manual it says the DNX6 series doesn't do BT streaming audio. The phone part is awesome, though.

You can try a USB / Bluetooth receiver such as Bluetooth USB Receiver Dongle replaces Dell DR985 NH366 | eBay

But I am not sure that will connect with bluetooth phone options at the same time.

I have the DDX616, and this is bugging me as well. I think streaming bluetooth audio is A2DP, I don't have that on my headunit either. It's funny how a lot of single dins have this option... Let me know if you find a solution!
