A2DP is becoming more and more popular, and leaving some of the older cars behind.

I can only see red/white RCA's on the unit - So assume it only outputs Audio?

It would really neat if it had a video feed displaying track titles etc too
I'm afraid I could not find a suitable AV Bluetooth receiver that was simply 12V powered.

The audio is good though, as it allows the navigation and the car screens to continue being used while the audio is playing.

The Kufatec AV pics have a yellow RCA, so you can use whatever video feed you like for the AV position.

Ditto Ian's words, a tidy install indeed

If anybody is thinking of doing the same, Amazon UK stocks the identical Bluetooth receiver.

I paid $48 aud including delivery.

Which is around 20 pounds. Since fusion is an NZ company, and access to those modules is easy in this hemisphere, I'm happy to buy and ship to the UK if it saves some coin for members. I'd estimate it to be about 30-35gbp landed max.

Hi MCS,

Very tidy install. Could i ask if the quality of sounds is as good over BT as it is with the CD player or (if you have it) the AMI cable?

Also, what gets displayed on the screen if i can ask?

Thanks,

Oli

Just to add, I installed one of these, which works quite well on AMI units 2009 and later. It fully controls the music app on my iPhone, shows all details and even shows episode info, episode title, season etc for Netflix when hooked up. Got mine for about £50 on eBay:

Hi,

Just to check, which option did you go for?

- Viseeo Tune2Air WMA3000 or
- Fusion MS BT-100

Thanks,

Oliver
