Cool LS430 Mark Levinson Sound System

Another question the new guy.

My LS430 has the Mark Levinson Sound System. It is sick.

However,

Cassette (yes)
CD Player Only
No Bluetooth

Would love to be able to play my my hits off my IPHone through this? Any ideas beyond that cassette adapter?

Mike

Get a USA-SPEC BT45-TOY. It's the smoothest and easiest way to stream Bluetooth audio directly off your iPhone.

As an alternative, I went with the VAIS Tech SoundlinQ3 (SL3b-L) Bluetooth interface adaptor. Works great, very happy with it.

Is there a video on how to install this device?

While I did a ton of the other work myself (I repaired all of the speakers myself, for example), I left this one up to a reputable installer in Chicago. It literally took him about half an hour max. Unfortunately, I didn't get to watch, but he said it was pretty straightforward for what it's worth. I would assume another person like that would not find it too challenging. The unit itself is plug-and-play, it's just getting the trim off and stereo out that may be a bit more difficult for a novice. The guy I used has been in the biz for a long time, so he was familiar with the unit, and had done a number of them in the past.
