Connecting Bluetooth to an original stereo

[WHW]

I have a 1998 BMW e36 M3 GT Evo with the original Harmon Kardon stereo and want to keep it looking absolutely OEM, however I want to connect my phone to the stereo for audio and calls. Given the tape deck and CD autochanger won't be used I have those two channels spare.

I can't find any decent looking product online that would enable this - has anybody found a good solution to connect a phone to an old stereo without any drop in sound quality? Even the 3 car audio specialists in London I've contacted seemed pretty flummoxed!

Thanks!

Xcarlink stuff plugs into the CD autochanger and gives you bluetooth/ipod/memory card, but I couldnt find an E36 device. Maybe give them a call?

Spoke to them, it's compatible and now ordered. Great suggestion, thanks buddy!

I bought one by Yatour. It plugs into the CD changer socket and has Bluetooth with microphone, SD, USB and Line in. I bought it to retain the original stereo and still have modern functionality.
