Hi guys

I picked up a R56 mini recently and am keen to add the ability to play music from my phone through the stereo using bluetooth if possible.

Is there a plug and play solution that can be added to enable this? I used a box in my previous car which plugged into the CD changer cable and it worked faultlessly over bluetooth (made by GROM). For the mini they seem to be about double the price so I wanted to canvas others in the same position before ordering.

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.

I managed to grab a second hand Intravee Tune2Air from eBay which plugs in to the OEM USB and AUX ports and allows OEM equivalent iPod connectivity over Bluetooth.

The car controls change the track and the display shows the song names so it seems to accomplish everything I need and then some.
