If you have a old iPhone/iPod connection in your car it works, but if not you need this also and that is like 250 £ ++

I can highly reccommend this piece of magic: https://griffintechnology.com/us/itrip-aux-bluetooth

As little clutter and hassle as possible. I plugged it in the 2nd seat row aux jack and aux cigarette socket.

Thumbs Up

Hi. I have edited this post for clarity. Earlier I installed the Bluetooth music streaming module from African-Outdoor.com. When it didn't seem to work I was looking for help but this was actually due to my oversight by not installing a needed fuse. After I installed the fuse, the module is streaming music via BT from my iPhone 6+.

In the past I had used both Bluetooth and WiFi-based receivers in tandem with the LR Auxiliary input jack (as Narpy suggests), but each had its shortcomings for me. With a Kinivo BTC450 I needed to power cycle the device after each BT phone call before it would stream music again and with the AirEnabler for Apple AirPlay over WiFi, I grew tired of the needed settings changes each time I entered the vehicle. Neither of those solutions worked with the track advance/repeat steering wheel buttons.

Now I have what I have long been seeking: native handsfree BT speakerphone using the builtin LR equipment with seamless wireless BT music streaming and full functionality of all the steering wheel buttons for volume, track forward/reverse, mode, start/end call, etc.

The photo shows that I pulled the factory radio to install the African Outdoor module. It wasn't too bad. The challenge was eeking out space for the wire harnesses-- a friend gave me a tip and I ended up taping them up in a hollow up behind the Nav screen.

Good luck! Any questions, let me know.

Hi wheeler7,
Can you show what it was that you bought as I looked at a website for Africa etcetera but it only had a single page?

Your solution sounds by far a better one that a dodgy plug in to the rear aux socket.

Hi, Disco Comfort,

Try this link:

http://www.african-outdoor.com/index.php?r...duct_id=51

This includes the module, the plug 'n play harnesses and a pickup fuse pigtail to get power. BTW you will need to get your own 5 amp fuse.

At the top left of that web page is a drop down box to select various world currencies and when you change currencies the payment gateways can change, as well.

Yes, to be clear, this solution is a standalone wireless Bluetooth music connection and eliminates the need to connect to the rear AUX input jack, although the music does play through the factory radio's AUX input.

You're right, tayaste, it's a stunning solution. And it works flawlessly with Wigg's BT4 upgrade and the LR factory Bluetooth phone setup. This brings to the table what I've always wanted. Very Happy

Ah ha,
Considering it is plug and play the price is reasonable if it provides the desired options.
Well found.
