TRANSIT BLUE ???

[x5homework]

So my 2002 x5 3.0 mom-mobile has the small telephone icon in the radio area, the talking head on the steering wheel, but no aux outlet. Hmmmm, I am dying already for some better music.....spotify, pandora, sirius? I gave it all up to add another seatbelt back when.
CarToys is offering "transit blue" bluetooth for $350 out the door.
I am a real OEM snob.
So, here I am, asking you kind geniuses to clue me in, before I make a wrong move.

Do you have the CD changer in the trunk? Are you willing to connect a Bluetooth adapter there instead of the CD changer?

dice / audiovox media bridge?

Not sure what's back there besides a battery and a Michelin lol

The Audiovox Media bridge is a good choice. $125 plus installation of you are not the DIY type. I have the older non-Bluetooth version and am happy with it. Will update one of these days...

I believe it plugs into the connector intended for the trunk mounted CD changer, which few people still use.

I Love my Mediabridge. But - I had to work out some quirks. You may need to mod the harness it comes with to isolate the data wire, preventing interference. Or else you get slight pops and clicks when text is scrolling on your MID/NAV display.

Now it's phenomenal.

Do you remember which color the data wire is?

[TECN1K]

In the harness provided by Dice/Audiovox - I isolated yellow, gray and black (Power, Data, Ground). The remainder of the wires in the harness were audio L&R + Shielding.

Thank you all for the helpful input. I have to note my error, the product is Tranzit Blue not transit. Well, Best Buy has a deal right now. I an scheduled Wednesday for $134 with install and two additional antennas. This is less than half of CarToys' quote. Not OEM though 😂😂😂😂. Come on, Wednesday!!!!
