Default Bluetooth modified head unit?

All,

I am struggling to find a way to add Bluetooth connectivity to my 04 Z. I want to stream music, not phone.

I recently ordered the Isimple Aux input kit and tried hooking it up to a Bluetooth adapter but it had some really bad interference.

I have seen some stock GM head units converted to Bluetooth....does anyone do this for Corvette stereos?

I am trying to avoid an aftermarket head unit..

Thanks

Dennis at Double D Mods has the answers. And the parts, no doubt.

You can also get a bt receiver which outputs to a radio channel. They are sometimes more expensive, but work perfectly. The aux input would be perfect if you can eliminate the static noise.

I got the 30-pin Ipod kit from DD. Then I bought a Coolstream Duo - Works fantastic. Got a Spotify acct and downloaded a bunch of great playlists. Sounds great!
