Bluetooth music streaming
 
Hi All,

I am a new A8 owner with a lot of questions :)
Just wondering what are people using to stream music via bluetooth?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ViseeO-Tun...4AAOSwqu9VCYgD

Found this on eBay, has anyone got one? I would be interested to know how good is the music quality when streaming.

Thanks

I'm a big fan of the Parrot MKi9200, which can be had here: http://www.roadradio.com/Parrot/MKi9...lpEaAjfw8P8HAQ for £130. This kit has been around for years, but there's a reason for that (it works…), and allows you to play stuff easily from your phone via bluetooth, or USB, or a old-fashioned jack. It's a bit tricky to fit if you've got Bose in your S8, but otherwise it's straightforward enough.

We've got a MKi9200 in the X5 and it's awesome, but retrofitting to a D3 would not be an easy or tidy job.

Never used that adapter, but for the price, I'd imagine it's worth a punt, though no idea how well it will manage the music on the phone.

Dont really want to be messing around, prefer plug and play. I guess Ill have a go with eBay option.

Received the viseo bluetooth tuner, but it doesn't seem to work. Says on the screen interface not connected, is there a way to test if AMI is working how it should? I don't have anything else to connect to it...

Where in the country are you? Maybe a local forumite could help with their cable.

North West, Burnley area. Ive tried it in friends A4, and it worked fine. Must be something with my AMI. Light on the bluetooth module doesn't come on at all :(

A message on the link you have about the product:

PLEASE NOTE - WE HAVE HAD ALOT OF PEOPLE BUYING THIS UNIT AND FINDING IT DOES NOT POWER ON.
FOR AUDI OWNERS - YOU MUST HAVE AUDI MUSIC INTERFACE (AMI) - PLEASE ASK YOUR LOCAL AUDI DEALER IF YOU ARE UNSURE

Dont get this, so I could have a port but AMI might not be there?

Was reading about different bluetooth streaming device. They state that it only works with AMI thats connected to mmi 3g as 2g doesn't supply power to the device. Is that true?
