Default Music Streaming

Hi. I was wondering if it is possible to stream music via Bluetooth, using iPhone 5 in my 2007 GX 470

Thank you for any advise

Not with the factory bluetooth setup, but yes with GROM or Vaistech, or possibly other aftermarket setups.

Question:

When using the Black Berry Blue tooth module setup for streaming music from the iphone 5, do all of the speakers play the music? I had originally tried just an A2DP adapter and only the front speakers would play.

I installed the vais soundlinq 3 blue tooth interface and music streams from my iphone 5s to my radio and it plays on all; speakers. I can even use iphone apps like Pandora internet radio and that also streams . Works great unit cost 212.00 shipped and was easy install . The sound is cd quality . This unit allows you to keep your cd changer . My truck is a 2004 and I did now want to loose my cd player and vais unit is the only one that lets you keep it.

My CD player died and I took it out, does the cable that comes with this match the jack behind the glove box so you can install without pulling the entire head unit?

The kit comes with a y harness 20 pin that you plug factory harness into then attach the other end back to radio. The connector on cd player is not a 20 pin. You would have to pull the radio out to get to the harness in order to install . The car would recognize the interface as md and the cd player would still be present even though it did not work .

Yes all the speaker play just fine. I am using it with my iPhone 6 now too.

Or you could buy a GOgroove FlexSMART X3 on amazon for 60.00 bucks which works great for me.

I've tried those FM transmitters and they always have static in the background noise depending on the station you pick, how does that one compare?
