Amazon.com: BlackBerry Remote Stereo Bluetooth Gateway for BlackBerry 8100, 8110, 8120, 8130, 8300, 8310, 8320, 8330, 8800, 8820, 8830, 9000 (Black): Electronics

it was really simple to setup and the blackberry is smart enough to send music through it and still route the calls trhough the car's bluetooth. it can be powered via the usb port in the center console; its like a perfect little something that bmw didn't add it. I highly recommend it

Couple of questions:
- I don't see any USB connector on the product image you linked. I only see the AUX connector. Does it have another cable to plug into the USB port for power?
- which Blackberry are you using? I don't see the Storm 1 (9530) listed but I am pretty sure my Storm has A2DP.
- I assume you have to "pair" the BB to the device just like you "pair" the BB to the vehicle and/or a bluetooth headset. So, when you launch Pandora, does the music automatically steam or do you have to choose settings on the BB?
- Using a "stereo cable", which cable and were you plugging into AUX or the console USB? Will the BB's USB cable (used for syncing) allow you to connect into the console usb port and send Pandora thru the vehicle's stereo? While I wouldn't use this often, it would be nice for longer drives and if I can do it with stuff I already have...

It seems for A2DP to work, the BB must simultaneously pair-connect to two different devices (vehicle AND the A2DP antenna). I'd really appreciate a more detailed description of how this works, all connections and which (if any) settings you have to change on the BB each time you want to stream Pandora thru the X5.
