Bluetooth for music

[StuBear]

Hi,

 

I have today purchased a 56 plate S Type with the navigation and basic phone blue tooth for calls. I would like to get it so music plays and is controlled by the head unit and steering wheel. Alternatively a USB socket with the ability to control tracks via the head unit and steering wheel.

 

I've read an old post about acm's? not sure what i actually need so could do with someone with knowledge to guide me a little please.

 

Thanks,

 

Stu

These are extremely effective, cheap plus plug & play. 100's of variants available

Jaap and Parker,

Thanks for the links. I'm presuming that these won't control the device plugged in i.e skip tracks? 

 

Ideally I'm looking for full comparability if it's possible.

 

Thanks,

Stu

Hi

The FM transmitters often have a SD slot rather than a USB and yes you can skip tracks from the device plugged into your electric socket.

Also you can bluetooth your mobile to a FM transmitter and have even more control over your phone & music.

You need an Audio Connectivity Module. That will fully integrate, RCA, USB and iPod into your audio system. This was the part supplied by Jaguar.

I can't see any on fleabay at the moment but expect to pay approx £250.

Installation takes roughly 45 minutes.

I had one in my S Types. Best mod I ever did.
