Hi all, first post on here so perhaps this has been asked before. I have the above model bought late last year and am really pleased with the car. My one frustration though is that I can't play music using the OEM Bluetooth/stereo arrangement and there is no AUX port! So basically I have a premium Spotify membership for instance, and can't use it in the car! I have the double DIN Concert II system.
My question is what is the best (or perhaps the most cost effective, I realise these might not be the same answer!) solution to get A2DP playback functionality, given that I already have the OEM bluetooth system (you'll have to forgive my ignorance if I'm not using these terms correctly) i.e. I'm thinking there must be some kind of simple mod/interface. In my previous car, I fitted a Parrot system which worked perfectly, but looks pretty rubbish - I'm a fan of the OEM stereo unit appearance and find Parrots clutter the dash. I had considered purchasing the RNS-E headunit, but then this would only give functionality via SD/USB I believe - and cost me roughly £350/400? I don't want to go for an aftermarket unit as I don't think these look as good. Ideally Bluetooth would be my preferred method of connection - I've read up on Denison units etc, but I'm still after a bit of guidance where to go with my particular set-up.
Any ideas?
