Phone Music Bluetooth Compatibility
Any idea on how to connect Samsung S6 Edge Bluetooth to the 2007 IS250 to play music from the phone via the inbuilt Bluetooth of the car

I use a little adapter from Belkin that works perfect, I've been using it for several years. It plugs into the AUX port and then you're good to go, just like if you had Bluetooth built in. Although, the steering wheel controls will not work, obviously. I highly recommend it.

Since you have a newer smartphone that supports the aptx codec, you'll get better sound quality with a bluetooth adapter that supports it. I don't think the Belkin that thejbgc uses does. I've been happy with this one:
Also, if the original owner did not have the dealer perform the TSIB to fix the ground loop noise issue while the car was still under warranty, you'll need an isolator like this one:
One other thing; if you are willing to pay more and perform a more complex installation in order to get a more complete integration into the factory radio, so that the car audio controls work and you can see artist and song titles, you'll want a bluetooth integration kit rather than a simple adapter like the Kinivo or Belkin. Vais Technology sells hardware that does this: http://www.vaistech.com/site/sl3b.php -- also available at Amazon

I got the Griffin BlueTrip and the PAC Ground Loop Noise Isolator but now I no longer have any bass. Has anyone seen this happen before?
