Beside the Blackberry Gateway or kensington, what other adapter has no internal battery (don't want to have to turn it on everything time) and can pair with more than one device? I'm looking for something with no button so that it won't get turned off if it moves around in the console. For this car, does it make a difference in terms of sound quality if the adapter is BT v3 or v4?

I've found but was wondering what else could be an option? Has anyone tried a different device that works well with ML setup?

 

Went for the BB based on the feedback regarding the sound quality, should have it next week.

 

JVC BTA 100. Not easy to install but worth it. Allows quick action button for pause/play and seek. Best of all it doesn't take up the power port and the quality of sound does not diminish. Highly Recommend.

 

I went with the BB gateway and the Kennsington noise filter cable. Works really well for me. Very easy and quick install, sounds great.

 

Good point regarding the fact that it doesn't need a power source, how many devices can you connect to it?

 

No idea but look it up. I have just one paired to it.

 

let me know how you set it up? Isn’t there a cheaper way of just placing I pad mini and using iPhone to six and mirroring it to use the touch pad on I pad?

 

I have used a BT module similar to this ( https://a.co/d/4K0xNbn ) for many years now with good results. It is small and plugs directly into Aux port with no additional cables. And you can plug in a charging cable from the power port in the console.

 

You're responding/asking a thread from 2013. Lots of things have changed since then with technology. There is a forum specifically about electronics for the LS.
