Hi, I am looking for Bluetooth Audio Streaming with USB Input for Audio and Charigng Kit, I am currently using an external AUX based bluetooth adapater which sounds okay, but it has light static noice when using, also additional wires that sticking out are annoying especially when you don't have enough console or storage space in 2009 ES350. I also tried cassette based bluetooth adapter, but its sound quality is horrible. Any recommendations? Aftermarket radio is not option as it has factory navigation though I love to have it, researched about Phoneix Audio's tesla like display, but those users keep reporting so many issues every day.

 

I bought a bluetooth FM transmitter that you plug into the cigarette lighter. It also has a mild static that you don't notice unless the volume is low or you drive under power lines.

Its a Roav and I got it off amazon.com

 

I tired various bluetooth aux adaptors but the high pitch sound was just unbearable thus, I decided to use lightning to 3.5 mm jack headphone adapter and it works perfectly. Highly recommended.

 

Thx, I tried them in the past, they are good as long as it has FM reception is good and stops playing when it is low. I am looking for something wired kit hidden behind the factory nav/radio.

 

I am ready to settle for an external aux bluetooth adapter, can you share the product link that you are using? Thanks.

 

I purchased TaoTronics Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter and receiver 2 in 1 wireless 3.5 mm adapter.

 

any Bluetooth receiver that gets power from any source in the car gives you the annoying static noise no matter what you do. To fix this you need to use an external source such as power banks to power on your receiver or buy one with a built in battery. I use a receiver with a big built in battery in it. The only downside is that i need to charge it once a month and turn the unit on every time i wanna use it.

 

Thx Daniel

 

Hi,
Has anyone tried to install ES350 2010-2012 Navigation system/LCD/multimedia center in a 2007-2009 models
I found out 2010-2012 models u can stream musing with Bluetooth so was just thinking if we can swap that system in post facelift 5th Gen models

 

The cost on that wouldn't be worth it unless you are a legit mechanic and can DIY. Just use the aux to lightning/usb

 

I just want to know if they are compatible or not as I have noticed that 2010-2012 ES350 Navigation has different options that 2007-2009

 

If the driver is going to be using an iPhone I'd recommend using a Lightning to Headphone Jack or USB-C to 3.5mm adapter and use the aux inside the center storage console. It sounds crystal clear this way and the only downside I could say is that you are going to have a wire coming from the center console . Maybe not as clean as some setups but it gets the job done and only cost around $15 total with the adapter and a quality aux cord.

 

I used this setup and can recommend, very good clear sound and if you have sirius on your phone and other streaming services you now have them through your sound system. Only downside is you need to manually on the phone change tracks.
