Bluetooth Question

[s1xtyn1n3]

I'm about to pick up my 2005(54) 350z GT this week and it has the handsfree kit cradle + steering wheel controls, but no bluetooth adapter. I know you can get these on ebay for about £60-£90 but what I really want to do is to have handsfree calling (with the steering wheel controls) and to be able to stream music over A2DP. I don't think the cradle adapter supports this so was wondering what solutions there are before I start spending money!

 

Any ideas?

a aftermarket headunit will be the only way to stream music with built in bluetooth. It wouldn't support the steering wheel controls though

Hmm... I feared that might be the case. Maybe I'll look into the hack for creating an auxilary in on the Bose headunit then and getting the bluetooth adapter.

have a look in the FAQ's. There is a thread by Rob_Quads. He pretty much knows the ins and outs of audio and aftermarket options.

 

 

auxillary has been done a couple if times before. It did mean taking the bose apart and soldering on some parts/connectors. It was done to a US unit so dont know if its possible on a UK model

Taking the Bose appart and a bit of soldering doesn't put me off if it gets the job done

 

I've seen a pretty good tutorial for doing it somewhere, but as you correctly point out, it was probably a US model which could well be different.

 

You're also right about Rob_Quads. That guy knows a scary amount about 350z ICE/wiring!

Someone else worth talking to is R35LEE, he repairs the bose systems so may be able to help you out.
