Help needed installing new media centre on Vauxhall Corsa

Hi guys - I'm looking to install a new media centre on my 2014 Vauxhall Corsa Excite AC. Did a few searches on youtube and plenty of google searches (I'm a complete newbie) and quickly realised I wouldn't have a clue on what to do to install a new media centre.

The problem I'm trying to solve is connecting my mobile via bluetooth to the car to play music.

I can connect my mobile to the car and receive and make calls but the best I can do to listen to music is to connect my phone jack to the car jack via a cable. And the USB, although it works for charging devices, doesn't read my music files and doesn't allow me to control any music player on the mobile.

What can I do to connect my smart phone to the car via bluetooth to listen to music? Is the answer a new media centre and if yes, which one would you suggest?

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers,
D

This should let you stream media via bluetooth and use your car's built-in bluetooth hands free for making/receiving calls. You'll still have to change tracks, etc. using your phone though.

Depending on which stereo you have fitted to your car, this would work in the same way as the above and would be completely invisible but a lot more involved installation wise.

And your other option is to remove the standard stereo completely and replace with a double DIN headunit that has all the features that you want using a fitting kit. Installation is even more involved and the car will no longer look original but the sound quality and functionality would be much improved.
