Default 2003 Bluetooth options

I searched this forum for a bluetooth solution for my 2003 SC430, however most of the information was a few years old.

Can anyone recommend a 2015 solution to keep my stock radio and use bluetooth pairing on my phone, it would be nice to connect my ipod at the same time.

TIA

Parrot has good options and work great. For the iPod and straming music you need the MK9xxx depending on the screen option you want. I don't use my phone or anything for music so simply installed the CK3000 with no screen. For music you need to run wires back to the amplifier so it's a bigger job vs phone only. Installers should be familiar with both options though if you dont do a DIY.

The bluetooth interface works great. Not like OEM but close enough.

I use an Arion (Eagletech) Bluetooth device that allows me to take and receive phone calls (decent to great quality depending on cabin noise), but more so for streaming music. Which works great. I've attached my build link below. The Orion device can also just attach to a tape deck adapter, rather than the more invasive installation that I created. The thing that I love most about the Arion is that it allows me to play, pause, and change track with just a press of a button. No need to use the controls on my phone. Additionalyl, you can add the VaisTech SL3U which I upgraded a the end of my build, and much better quality. Therefore, the minimum parts for best quality sound, you'd need is the Arion and the Vaistech. Check it out, and good luck!
