Android music streaming.

Post by johnnyr6 » Wed Jul 10, 2019 9:49 pm

hi all. I have navigation fitted to my 08 E85 with the Ipod connector. I'm looking to connect my android phone to listen to music. I see I can use the grom bluetooth system. If I fit this can I still use the handsfree phone system as usual or does it change the settings?

also what grom unit should I use?

Or, Is there a simple adaptor to change the Ipod connection to android?

Thanks, Johnny.

U dont need to go to the expense of the grom system.
I have the same system as you inc the ipod prep cable.
I use a piggyback voltage dongle in between the ipod connector and an Mpow BT receiver.
Cheap as chips and sounds great.
