Adding Bluetooth to factory head unit
I recently ditched my iPhone for an android device and have a delimma. In my vette I have an iPod/iPhone specific adapter that plugs into the back of the head unit. I was going to remove it and was wondering if they made something similar but with a2dp (Bluetooth audio streaming) for our head units.
I really don't want to upgrade my head unit so I'm hoping something like this exists

Give Dennis at Double D Mods a call or send him a PM - he is very knowledgeable about the C5 radios and what aftermarket stuff will work with them.

What a coincidence, I was looking at a Parrott MKi9200 today online, wondering if Dennis had any experience with them. Bluetooth streaming music as well as hands free phone.
Dennis, your thoughts......?

Its a great idea
but wont work with the stock radio.
I tried this once with the HFKGM1 Pac Audio says will work and it will not.
By the time you buy everything to attempt this its going to be much easier and better to just get an aftermarket single din with BT HD Radio, Ipod controls and be done with it.
I have many options for this and we can prewire them for a super simple install as well.

About 3 years ago I bought some weird adapter that plugged into my cd changer. It worked. The music played from my IPOD. But with the IPOD volume all the way up and the car system all the way up the volume wasn't very loud. Not anywhere near as loud as if I had inserted a cd.
Using my I PHONE. (4S) Can I use a Bluetooth thing and make my phone play music through my stock deck via blue tooth? If this is possible will I suffer the same loss of volume as I did when I was using the plug on my IPOD?
