bluetooth
 

can you play music over your phone's bluetooth? phone calls work great but i can't get it to play music...maybe the app sux?

You can however not with the factory system, and you loose a lot of audio quality doing this as well. Add to that draining your phones battery pretty quickly and I would go with an aux input.

I have the Bose system with an android phone. I use my Bluetooth for radio sometimes. You might have to set up your car to also play music I had to do that. I would give detail instructions once i get to a Pc.mi can't do this on my phone.

Edit: Your phone must support A2DP once you pair your phone to your Bose system push your function button until you get to Bluetooth then go to you phone Bluetooth options and make it will prompt you to pair the A2DP. I believe that is how I set it up

And plugging your charger into the 12v outlet eliminates battery drain.

I assume OP has a 2009, meaning you cannot stream music through Bluetooth

Ahhhhh!!! very wise.

Problem is that on some phones you drain more than what you can charge in the car.

True but it's actually not good to charge your phone in the car, let alone keep it plugged in while playing music.

yes, i have 09 with bose and nav...bluetooth all that...are you saying that it will only work for phone calls? can't stream music...pod casts ect? the phone i have is galaxy s3

Try this and see if it works.

I did not know that, Or that it was bad to keep it plugged in while playing music, as matt pointed out.

Why is it not good to charge your phone in the ar?

Because the chargers are usually higher amps than a normal house charger, which tears the battery up after a while.
Even if it is the correct charging amps its still not good to have charging on and off as you stop and go places.

I have to disagree. That would have been the case 3-4 years ago but most cell phones "remember" their previous charging state. With current technology both the battery and phones operating system regulate the the charging and it doesnt matter how many times you plug and unplug it.

You want to save your battery and wear-and-tear on your phone? shut it off at night. most people dont realize that having their phone on 24/7/365 wears it out.

and to answer the OP's question:
Keep it simple Go with this This

It actually still is the car with lithium technology today with phones. A lot of people do not realize this. With phone batteries being sensitive to temperatures and higher amp input to them, it can wear out a battery more quickly than a normal OEM charger. Same thing with (electric cars) they do not recommend rapid charging them to many times. Also if you shut down your phone you can actually get a fuller charge than having it on.
