Yes it's possible to but only if you have a by adaptor via blackberry gateway , Kingston an any other thing like those to do it, the adaptor is hook up via aux input and powered by your cigarette adaptor ,

For my 07 is350 ---
Bought this as suggested in other threads:
http://shop.crackberry.com/blackberr...A172A11438.htm
< $50 total after the 15% off coupon which is still valid now. "Holiday12"
And i got the ground loop noise issue so I bought this:
Completely remove the high pitch sound.
And I also got some other weird feedback noise, so I changed out the usb ac adaptor and found one that does not make the noise. AC adaptor are cheap, <$5 each and I have a lot of them sitting around from other bundles.

My car is also a 2007, and although it has the Mark Levinson, Navigation, Bluetooth package, the bluetooth is for calls only. So I recently bought one of these adapters for my car. I chose this one:
It was about 50$ and it works great.
Advantages of this particular adapter are that it is very compact. It fits neatly into the power socket in the center arm rest (so it is always powered and does not need charging), and the 3.5mm jack fits into the aux. It also autoconnects to my iPhone every time I turn on my car (some of the other adapters don't autoconnect and require that your press a button, so make sure before you buy). My iPhone simultaneously autoconnects to my cars bluetooth for calls, so when I get calls, the music stops and I answer right from the steering. You can also change volume right from the steering wheel. Just set ur iPhone volume for this adapter to max, and adjust music using your vehicle controls only. Your iPhone will remember the volume level for this particular device every time it connects. Also activates Siri if you press the button on the adapter, but it's way more practical to just press the button on the phone.
Disadvantages: You can not change music from the steering, you must do that directly from your iPhone. Sound quality is pretty good (I stream from Spotify and listen to music stored on the phone), but it's nowhere near the great quality you might get from a CD or AUDIO-DVD. It's probably better than radio quality though, so pretty practical I would say.

What Hoovey2411 said, but this workaround solution may be of interest to you: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...sing-a2dp.html
I've been using this for the past few months and I have got to say that it is the best thing I've bought for my car. The only thing is that you have to power it on manually, but that's like nothing (since it auto shuts off after a pre-determined time of inactivity and the device that it was connected to is out of range). My AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II had problems keeping a constant audio stream going (which almost made me believe that the BT device was the problem), but my iPhone 5 works like a dream with it.

I looked at the Blackberry BT unit and found the setup too cumbersome and space consuming, and down right expensive too.

I love how it's so compact I was just wondering, have you ever come across one of these devices that will let you change songs using the steering wheel controls?
Thank you!
