Default Viseeo Tune2Air WMA3000

Anyone have any experience of these?

I hadn't realised they can control the attached device via 2G MMI, so once I knew, I had to buy one. I've read from some eBay sellers that the AMI has to be 2009 or newer,... Not sure about that.

Took a few goes for my 64Gb iPhone 6+ to pair, oddly. But works quite well. Hopefully an improvement over the USB I had plugged in previously. This way I can listen to podcasts on longer journeys and just keep the one device updated via iTunes.

Here's some pics for people who haven't seen them.

I keep forgetting how to upload more than one photo at a time. I managed to add about 10 once. Can't for the life of me remember how

Is that USB, John or AMI interface? Is it Audio over Bluetooth?

The tune2air plugs into AMI Lee. It's A2DP Bluetooth yeah.

It has a few glitches here and there if the iPhone is busy doing things it seems, but it works. Sounds good to my ears too, and has the bonus of gapless playback. (AMI to USB cannot do this, annoyingly.)

Here's a slightly clearer pic

I plugged it into the AMI, and it flashed the blue light. So power was getting to it. It just took an age for my iPhone to connect to it. But once it had, the MMI recognised/initialised it.

Out of interest how old is your AMI, or the MMI software maybe?

My 2G MMI is up to date, as far as I know and the AMI is relatively new (some sellers say it only functions with >2009 AMI) and it powers the device that is plugged in.

The place I bought it from said they get A LOT of returns from people saying it doesn't work. Doesn't power on.

Must be a 'thing'. Is there a reason why the AMI wouldn't power a device?
