It will not work. The Bluetooth in the 06 and I think up to 09 is only for phone calls. Newer models have bluetooth streaming.

The only way around this is to buy a bluetooth module for streaming music.

watch the ugliest movies on the 06 gs screen.

I'm not sure if you guys with the higher up years have better resolution. but the 06 screens are BAAAAAD.... I can literally see the grains on the screen lol.

If you're interested OP, instead if lugging around a giant ipad. I bought one of these... connected a 128gb USB stick to it, and put it on random & autoplay (with music videos). There's still so much space on it I don't even know what to do with it... I ran a 12V 4-way cigarette lighter splitter & USB phone charger into my glovebox and voila. Wires all tucked away, car autoplays music videos, and all I have to do is get in the car and drive. No fumbling for anything. When I get bored of music, I swap out flash drives and go about my business.

Amazon Amazon

Ohh, I also cut the wires and hooked it up to a old usb charging cable that's phone connector went bad. These take as much power as your phone chargers.

This should all be done while you're wiring up the BT/Aux cable unit.
