Default Bluetooth Adapter

Did a search on this and didn't come up with anything. Might not know what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for way to avoid using a wired connection in my 2013 GS.

Would I be able to plug this adapter into the USB port in my console and wirelessly bring in music from my iPhone ?

Don't think that product applies for your needs.....

My 2012 has the base stereo, so I don't have a usb....I bought the Kinivo on Amazon for about $40 I think..... After seeing several good reviews from CF.....Plugs into the aux jack, wires tuck nicely...Works perfect you just touch the button once and it connects Bluetooth.... Click aux button and you are streaming anything you want.....music or video Files from your phone, YouTube, Pandora, slacker...and hands free phone calls...... Of course you have no read out on the stereo of the song names, since that type info doesn't transfer.....
There are other more complicated and expensive routes to take that will let you advance tracks via steering wheel controls....
This BT plug in was the perfect solution for my needs.....

I believe those are called a dongle. You should be able to do just as you are wanting to with that. I had a usb from an aftermarket HU with one plugged in for Bluetooth music streaming.

Brad, Trip,

Thanks, I'll keep working on this, but the Kinivo might just do it. I come from the push button AM radio, wired up FM modulator and 8 track days, so I continue to learn as I go.

You need a new head unit. Chevrolet's technology is circa 1997.
