Ditto amancuso again...I guess technology moves so fast that we forget and make assumptions that cars built a decade ago or more should have technology that is relatively newer.

As has been discussed...Bluetooth telephony became available around Oct 2004...so car telephones prior to that did not have BT capability. Music streaming (A2DP) did not evolve until around 2010/2011. So BT TCUs from 2004-2009 would not have the capability to stream music.
