458 Bluetooth Music Streaming

Guys just bumping this to confirm which model of viseeo works?

Amazon have a 3000A listed at £66

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ViseeO-Tune2Air-WMA3000A-...

And a 1000A listed at £179

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ViseeO-Tune2air-WMA1000--...

Now I know this is a stupid question since the obvious answer is "its a ferrari, so it must be the more expensive one", but the description for both says audi/VW/mercedes and they look like exactly the same unit.

Can anyone confirm which works?

Cheers, after I posted that earlier I emailed Viseeo tech support and they confirmed the 3000A won't work with the 458 and suggested Ebay themselves. I just ordered one there and will see how it goes.

I'm still not happy with mine. It stutters and has to be unplugged a bit, and it gives no track info in the media screen after the first song, or even after a few seconds.

Just to say I have this now up and running and I'm delighted with it.

It does occasionally need diconnecting and reconnecting (no hassle its a 5 second job), and it does fail to show track names etc but I really don't care about this at all, I tend to listen to music I know in the car and don't need to see track names to be honest. Aside from this, audio quality and volume is perfect, and playback is totally fine - I have had no interrupts or disconnections or sound drops at all.

Then again, I haven't connected my phone to the actual car yet, possibly some of those issues are caused by trying to pair to two things at once.

Anyway, thanks to whoever recommended, I can't believe its such a cheap solution. I've been looking for something similar for my 997 Turbo and the only thing that seems to work now is going to be mobridge which is going to cost me €1000.

Mine works in my 2013 (63) 458 Spider.

Works fine even with the phone blue toothed to the car.

It shows song title and track and allows me to search from car screen.

Only issues it has to be re plugged in to the car ipod lead every time I re start the engine for some reason.

bit irritating but apart fro that its good.

I have the WMA1000 which works well and includes the track names etc (this is in a 2010 458)

However, I've lost the instructions and therefore the code for the Bluetooth - please could someone post it or PM it to me?

Many thanks

There is a reset button on the device press it with a pinnor pen and reconnect. Pin is 0000

Haha, I just visited your website and read your post about the Ferrari Getting you laid by a model. It was a masterpiece! That heading is memorable!

I don't think Rambolambo would agree

VitzzViperzz said:

Haha, why would that be?

Put it like this - if I might make an analogy to ladies of ill repute, if you pointed out that Rambolambo's choice of lady of ill repute was disease ridden and ugly as sin, as opposed to a more attractive Italian model, he would immediately wax eloquent about her carbon chassis and insist that anyone who bought into the concept of a lady of ill repute without a carbon chassis was completely off their rocker. So any suggestion that a Ferrari is "better" than a Maclaren is met with pretty much the same argument repeated at length. Every time.

In fairness, it has been pointed out many times that there is no such thing really at this level as "better", only "I prefer for me" and a lot of this is very much tongue in cheek at this stage (and for absolute clarity and the avoidance of any hurt feelings, I'm only joking about the kind of sexual experience a Ferrari encourages, as opposed to the quite different sexual experience an Maclaren manufactures for you, naturally)

I have a 2013 458 spider and found an excellent adapter to plug in to the existing ipod connection. The adapter was only £89 and allows my iphone to be connected both to the adapter and the ferrari telephone. this means the music is paused when a call comes through and I can answer as normal. I have had a slight problem with the reliability of my adapter but I think thats because my ipod connection got caught when closing the glove box and subsequently got damaged. All I need to do is physically disconnect the adapter and connect it again. Hope this helps

Ok it's here and connected and is bloody great! Works straight out of the box and streaming Tunein Radio (DAB), Spotify/Amazon Music and iphone music without any issues. In fact the sound quality seems better than my music I saved to the hard drive of the car! Great bit of kit

Hi 458man

Please can you tell me which one you ordered and have you had any problems so far.

Thanks
Pocty

[PrancingHorses]

This one works fine

458man,

If I'm happy with a wired connection do you know if this simple adapter will work? I have the Iphone X and would like to listen to music on the way to Le Mans

The viseo thingy has never worked perfecty for me - I have to unplug it and plug it in again each time the car starts. Also, sometimes it glitches and I find using my phone to control it to be a pain. The steering wheel controls sometimes work to change track but that's all. So I found an imperfect workaround, which allows you to use Spotify and keep your phone for actual calls or even navigation (assuming that no-one who has a smartphone will ever use the native 2010 map in the crummy Ferrari nav in a 458). I had this old 8gb iPod Touch lying around so I rebooted it and then downloaded Spotify and synced with my account, downloading all the playlists etc. Now, when connected to the iPod connection, if I press play on a playlist (it could be anything, I have a 500 song random committed driving songs one) before starting the car (to avoid it defaulting to Apple Music) it will play and I can use the steering controls to change track, and see what track is playing, albeit not explore playlists etc. Given that the main reason for being in a 458 hasn't much to do with listening to music, its enough of a workaround for me anyway. Hope that's useful to someone else.

Ive been using the Visio kit for 2.5 years and apart from the unplugging and replugging at times it works flawless with track names displayed too.
