Hey guys,
Have any of you used the "Tenergy Mini Bluetooth Audio" connector with your IPod connector? I'm interested in connecting in my 09 XKR. If so what we're your findings? Thanks in advance.
Gary

In my 2009 XKR I have plugged in a mini USB into the inside port of the center console. Has about 500 to 800 songs downloaded from my computer.

Using the mini USB in the port provides no wire hookups, no other connections, just plug and play after "docking the device" from the Nav Screen under Audio>Portable Device>Dock Device>Folders

Sound is spectacular with the B&W system. Its like having a JukeBox in the Jag.

No but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I have a 2014 XK-R and attached a bluetooth adaptor called Tune2Air to the car's included cable. It paired to my wife's Apple phone easily. Now, as soon as she gets into the car, her music streams to the system nearly instantly. Not sure if your '09 has the same I-Phone adapter cable.

There have been a few threads on the topic.
(searching for this is why I joined up!)
As far as I can tell, no-one has found a blue tooth device design that streams to a non Apple device. Logically, you'd have thought it was easy, but not so.
Much kudos to whoever figures it out!

This is the best solution I have seen to date (for the money) for non-apple devices. Unfortunately it is not a "true" bluetooth direct stream to the car's audio system. You wire up this device inline with the antenna port on the back of the nav system. This then allows you to stream music via bluetooth to this module, which then is wired to the radio. Quality likely is poorer than a direct stream, but I would imagine it is not too bad. I am curious if anyone here has used this product.

Agreed - I'd be very interested as well. Poorer quality would still beat nothing at all!
