I have been searching for the following car stereo with out much joy, and was wondering if anyone could help.

IPhone app for control
4 speakers output, as normal but be able turn the back and/or front off. Not the usual fading as I may want to turn all speakers off and use the bose speaker as below.
Be able to link to a Bose soundlink mini via Bluetooth and use it as a speaker.
Take an input from a TV.

Anyone know of such a device?

It is the bluetooth output that is going to be the difficult one to find. Most car stereos will take a Bluetooth input to allow you to play music from your iPhone over the car speakers but not the other way.

What are you looking to do with that function? Wouldn't it be easier just to connect your iPhone to the Bose by bluetooth when you want to use that and take the car system completely out of the chain?

The reason for connecting the Bose to the stereo was that I may want to play the TV through this speaker, I am also conscious that the battery on the iphone wont last too long if I am streaming.

I have ordered one of these Bluetooth transmitters that should do the job, of getting sound to the Bose

Also looking at one of these that potentially will do the job for the stereo

What TV do you have? Something dash mounted or an actual portable TV? What are you trying to display on the TV - terrestial broadcasts or video streamed from the iphone?

The JVC stereo you linked to has a built-in screen that will play video from an iphone. It also charges your iphone whilst connected. That meets all your requirements doesn't it? I don't really understand where the BOSE link fits into all this or need to switch speakers off or the 2-way bluetooth for all that...

Right. OK.

What sort of TV?

You want to stream video from your iphone to your TV but play the audio via the car stereo?
