It also depends on what cellphone you use, if not an IPHONE, then just go with the Bovee WMA1000A Bluetooth adapter route into the media in port via #2 ipod cable, or the newer Bovee WMA3000A which has it's own cable built-in.
Thank you. I don't think I want to spend a couple hundred dollars to stream music. I think my 2013 has the ability to stream from my Android. I just don't know how to get it connected. I think I have a software issue. The phone works for calls, there is no reason it shouldn't work for streaming. This is why I thought I could get more info from the Ross Tech scan? Maybe someone else knows what my issue is? For now I have loaded 300 songs onto the hard drive and that plays perfectly.
Hello @Linescreamer ,
I see what you mean, if your year vehicle has factory built-in Bluetooth for music (as I believe it does) then there really is no need for the media in port for the way you want to use it, what the cables I listed allowed was the use of many different connection options, my 2010 factory Infotainment system that I installed does not have BT music streaming capability, that's why I used the BT dongle ($89) into the media port.
For your vehicle, have your watched this video, as your year vehicle has a two step setup for BT, first step for BT phone calls, second step for BT music.
Oh I understand. Sounds like before 2012 there was no Bluetooth phone option. Yes, I have watched that video several times. I posted about this before and didn't get a response from any 2012-2018 owners. If you watch that video at the 2:01 minute mark, he selects media player. That option isn't highlighted on my system. Media player text is there, but not lit up and therefore I can't choose it as a streaming option. I wounder if my scan is telling me something here? Maybe the software needs updating? I don't really know how to use the Ross Tech to help diagnose this further. Any help would be appreciated.
