    RNS-E Bluetooth Music Streaming - Good A2DP Options

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey Everyone,

    After owning my car for 10+ years, and countless times of pulling out SD cards from my RNS-E and updating the music on them and plugging them back in, I think my laziness is starting to get the best of me. I am looking for ability to stream Spotify, Youtube, Pandora from my phone to my A4s speakers.

    ---------------
    Question:
    What is the best bluetooth adapter (I am assuming A2DP) that I can use with my MK1 RNS-E that will enable Bluetooth MUSIC streaming from my phone?

    Background:
    Currently, I have a MK1 RNS-E with OEM Bluetooth module (For VOICE calls, that I really barely use). No CD Changer (glovebox) or SAT radio modules are installed.
    ---------------

    If I can provide any additional details around this request, please let me know. Thank you in advance to everyone for your time and help, it is greatly appreciated!


    Thanks,
    Asif

    I have installed this type of Bluetooth adapter on several RNS-E and Symphony II+ radios without a problem:

    You only need to tap into a switched 12v line. I just ran a cable over to the fuse box and tapped into a key switched 12v fuse. Other than that just make sure "aux" is enabled on the radio, if it isn't you'll have to use vagcom to enable it.

    If you want more of an "OEM" setup at more than 10x the price:

    When I had my B7, I used a Dension BT Pro (they also have a BT Lite). Was plug and play into RNS-E, easy to connect, let me use steering wheel controls, etc.

    Asif this was the top choice when mapping out a system for that B8 S4 I was gonna buy. I think should work for your application as well.
