HI All
if you have an Aux in and an iphone/ipad....use airpaly... i suggest a usb powered Apple express and use the analog out to the Aux in....
now you can airplay to your car with WAY better signal than BT.
ive been doing it for yrs.... works mint and you can stream..

This is a Very simple, easy to do mod this was the first video i found so if the 2 knuckle heads doing annoy you do a search for "how to airplay in my car"
VIDEO:
I used this setup guide personly super easy... and cheap..
DOC: AirPlay on the Highway: Put AirPort Express in your Car for Wireless Audio Awesomeness | Evolver.fm
Ebay: for the Voltage step down chip that talked about in the dock.
I Still need help with: how to remove wood door trim from the doors..
all the searching and none of the doors look like my door trim.

Nice Airplay Mod, but Sure Electronic Bluetooth board mod is just cheaper $100 Airplay vs $25 Sure BT. Airplay is only for Apples, Sure BT is for all BT capable smart phone.

More expensive, unnecessarily complicated and doesn't work with a universal standardized protocol.
Yep, that's an Apple solution.

It's been a few weeks that I've had this installed in my car, and everyone that's been in my car before, and now seeing that I'm able to stream music wireless, asked how much did it cost to get this feature installed. They tripped out when I told them only 30 bucks. Then they start to mess around with things to see how it works and behaves.
So this is with an iphone 6, other devices might behave differently, but below are some highlights that I've notice and like a lot with this mod:
- once paired up, entering and existing car, my phone and the SureBT pairs up automatically and instantly
- sound quality is amazing, you can't even tell it's streaming via BT
- music and phone calls toggles back and forth without any problem
- music even pause when incoming phone call is receive
- music resumes if it was playing before, when phone call ends
- no engine noise ( I was afraid this might pick up unwanted engine noise/whine)
- small enough to conceal mount it - set it and forget it
- best 30 dollar mod so far
Thanks insyder for sharing this with everyone.
Thanks Quanger for the install.
