A2DP Bluetooth audio, anyone tried it?

Post by gilford » Sun Sep 30, 2012 9:38 pm

Having got an iPhone 5 yesterday my brand new car with AMI 30 pin connector is now defunct!

The official adapter isn't out until late October so I was looking for alternatives.

On e bay you can get a little A2DP dongle for well under a tenner, seems like the perfect thing? Anyone used one?

Buy an iPod and leave it in the car! If you're desperate for a charger and don't have the phone prep use a lighter socket charger.

Keep an ipod nano permanently plugged in. Hate putting the iphone in as I'd run into work and forgot I's left it in the car.

Also really happy with the battery life of the 5 so no need to charge it midday :-)

Yes, I have bought a couple of 32gb cards, having major trouble with them though :(

I have 60gb of music in iTunes, I have wasted a lot of time trying to strip the ID tags off the music, I am STILL getting the corrupt file error on the RNS-E. life is too short, ill buy an iPod :)

i have a 160gb ipod that stays in the car and gets updated when needed by far the easiest solution
