Default Bluetooth Audio Streaming

I've been able to use bluetooth redirection on my phone to stream audio through my stereo in my GX 2007; however it's mono.

I really like this idea and I'm willing to spend $$ on getting an A2DP compatible device that will pair with the car amp. I've looked at the Dice MediaBridge, but it's compatible with every Lexus model EXCEPT GX's http://diceelectronics.com/media-bridge-info


Does anyone have recommendations for something similar? (I only want a bluetooth connection to the amp, I'm not interested in a bluetooth to aux solution)

Thanks,

All I was able to find for less than $50 was wireless bluetooth AUX devices. I use the Blackberry Music Gateway ($40 from Amazon) and just recently purchased a Belkin Bluetooth Receiver for the home ($45 at Walmart ) and they do produce stereo provided you use the correct wire (sounds great but looses volume). Hopefully, someone on the forum will know of a unit that ties into the amp. I can not tell any difference in sound quality between physically plugging into the AUX connector vs going wireless with the Bluetooth gateway....just the loss of approx 30% volume. Good Luck! Mike

check out this website. then buy one of their over priced products and let me know if it works. I dont want to waste the money unless someone does a good write up and convinces me.

This is the one I have had my eye on, http://usaspec.com/product.php?ProductID=73 It seems to fit what you are looking for as well.

I'll be going with the GROM unit when the time comes, adds bluetooth to my pre-bluetooth truck, plus a USB and aux-in. Only downside is you lose the CD changer if equipped, but a thumbdrive will all my digital music would just mean I don't need to haul around CD's anymore.
