Easy Bluetooth A2DP Streaming music mod

[psieg2]

So my original solution (I started this thread) worked great, other than a lot of cables in my center console, which is a bit inelegant and bothersome, so I kept looking.

Here is my new solution that eliminates most cabling, and seems to work just as well.

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...

I just picked up one of these for my '08. Unfortunately for whatever reason I've discovered my iphone won't automatically pair with this device so every time I remove the phone from the car, I have to repair, which is annoying. Anyone know if the Blackberry version others have mentioned will automatically pair upon powering up? I have the iphone 5.

Thanks.

Dog, is this still the case for you?

I bought this usb/aux thingy since april and just got it to work, all this time I thought the problem was with my iPhone 5, found out just last week my AUX port is busted, got if fixed yesterday and im a happy camper...

now, why doesn't it reconnect automatically everytime I enter the car? lol... other than that, it works great...

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.
