Hi All,
I have been using one of these blutooth boards in the e89 Z4 so that my phone connects wirelessly with Bluetooth.

I installed it in the centre console armrest where the cup holders are as there is an AUX port for the stereo plug and a 12V plug for power.
It's a super cheap solution at $3 and works perfectly 99% of the time.
I'd like to improve two things:
Anyone got any suggestions for the above?
Anyone know if there's an accessible wire I can tap into that is energised when the radio is energised? (it used to be called "Accessory" I think)
Anyone know if there's another auxiliary port somewhere else?
Thanks as always

I'd like to improve two things:
- The power to the 12 cig lighter plug stops as soon as the engine stops. I'd like it to stay on until I pull out the key or lock the car, like the radio stays on
- Occaasionally the connection suffers. I think it's Electro Magnetic Interference or perhaps the arm-rest blocking the signal from the phone which sits on my dash vent
