Unless you have extended media support option within Bluetooth..no
 
Apparently 2011 and newer is the year, so 2009 won't.
But, if you have the USB/AUX socket in the centre console, then you could use one of these...
EDIT, well I was going to say the Viseeo (or Bovee) Tune2air WMA3000B, but nobody seems to have any!
There are a few copies around, all of which state they'll do the same job, which is that it plugs into both the AUX and USB ports to give you sound and information from from your phone. They are controllable from the steering wheel buttons, which is the big difference over the cheap Bluetooth receivers.
I've added a couple of photos of when I had one, any questions just ask :thumbsup:

In that case you can't use the Tune2air adaptor, but you could use a simple Bluetooth adaptor that plugs into the AUX socket and powers from a USB cigar light adaptor.
With something like this you could control your music... (TIP* If you connect to this but set this connection as Media Only and not calls, then your calls will still be using the car bluetooth!)

Hope that helps :thumbsup:
 
That’s a bugger , but I’ll look at that unit you linked to,
Hate having cables on show so I could try get a usb point n the arm rest maybe, And again thanks for your input

As for fitting the USB/AUX socket, it can be retrofitted, but it depends what you currently have.
Do a VO check to see what specs your car has, you be looking for things in the 600 range (633, 6fl, etc) or anything that might be audio related...
