Hi

New to forum , before i rip out the standard headunit and go after market i just want to check there is no way i can get spotify streaming out of my current setup.

Give you and idea

  • 2012 8P
  • Bose Upgrade
  • Symphony Head Unit
  • Have old Apple dock (pre lighting connector) in glovebox (not tested or used as all phones are newer)
  • Phone prep in arm reset (not used, looks like is missing a dock part anyway)
  • Factory Call Bluetooth - Connects and works fine with my iPhone 7
My end result is i want to stream Spotify to the standard stereo , if this can be done that's all i need.

If i do need to change i would like to be able to keep the stock handsfree/bluetooth, but is this tied to the Headunit ?

Sorry if this is in wrong section or already has been covered , i believe i know the answer and i need to go aftermarket (was thinking of double din car play unit) but as i said i want to keep the hands free function and utilize the OEM MIC and for it to interact with the trip computer display.

Thanks in advance

Dave

Not sure if this is what you were after but I have a 2011 A3 with Bose etc but no built in blue tooth. I bought the item below, connect the cable to the AUX port and stream via blue tooth and the quality it brilliant.

Best part is you can use it for calls and its the best quality mic i have ever know on an aftermarker blue tooth kit. People can actually hear every word you say without any road noise, not what I bought it for but a bonus.

Amazon product

Edit - didnt realise I could not post amazon links. Go on amazon and search for B014WKS8R0
