USB Bluetooth 3 5mm Stereo Audio Music Receiver Adapter Fr Speaker iPhone 4 4S 5 | eBay

Also has the added benefit of costing less than $10.

Not certain I can improve on this...
unfortunately we don't all have USB in our X5s (even with the tech pkg in '08). I am connecting my phone to the aux jack right now. If I want to bluetooth it, I want a BT receiver that doesn't require yet another cable for power (especially because the cig lighter and console are so far apart, and no USB at all). Too bad you can't get power for a BT receiver from the AUX line. Don't want to deal with rechargeable receivers either because that's another thing to flip on and off.

Car on, BT receiver on - and vice versa. That's what I'd like. If nothing else, I guess I'll have to go rechargeable.
