My model doesn't support BT Audio streaming, could I use this adaptor coupled with a USB-Micro USB adaptor to stream from my http://www.gsmarena.com/vivo_xplay3s-6800.php
Phone to I-Drive?

Looked at this https://www.amazon.co.uk/ViseeO-Tune2Air-WMA3000B-...
However the reviews put me off

Take a look at this, I'm assuming your car will have USB input but not sure you could use it for Bluetooth with an adaptor, so either plug the phone in via USB or use something like what's suggested in that thread to add Bluetooth to the AUX port. You won't have control of the phone through the car though.

Worth looking in to how much it would be to retrofit Bluetooth Streaming, newer models it just has to be coded in as it has all the hardware.

Cheers, good reviews, will also look at the coding route

F Series coding is pretty easy, I looked in to it briefly for a friend with an F30 but sadly his didn't have the required hardware, but by the F20 it might have been standard like it is now.

I have the tunai firefly in my E92 amazing bit of kit. The charger comes with it as well. But it only works with a AUX port.

I believe that you just need to code the Enhanced Bluetooth option to get streaming

You must have a combox to simply enable it by coding.

2014 Week 10 onwards only unfortunately, strange omission up until that point!
