If you have the wired iPod connection then the Tune2Air WMA1000 is the best option for a properly integrated Bluetooth streaming. Works with Apple and Android.

WMA3000A is not the same as WMA1000 is it?

Weird, it is available here in the US.

It is a great device, for me it is working in my current 2012 XK but would not work on the first '12 XK I owned (was totaled).

I'm using this, plugged into my AUX and running off the power adapter both in the glove compartment. Been very pleased with the results.

This is OK for pre-2010 cars that have ACM installed. But for Angel this is not good advice, there is no 3.5mm jack available and from what I have found cannot be added to 2010 and up cars.

The WMA1000 is still his best bet, not to mention for Apple products it allows for steering wheel control and playlist info on screen, it thinks you have an IPOD connected with a hardwire.

Mine doesn't work either, not even with an iPod connected directly to it. I can see the iPod and the song list on the screen, the song "plays" and I can skip forward and backward but there is no audio. I tried a new cable adapter also. I was going to take it into the dealer, pay their diagnostic fee and try to figure it out. I really want this to work....

Get a USB drive full of everything. Plug it in and be happy. I think maybe only the 2010+ years though.

Same with my Wife, she likes to play an audiobook over the bluetooth connection, plus Pandora and such.

Default Additional Equipment

I have an '03 XK8 convertible. I see that the Bovee ViseeO WMA1000 might work, what I am wondering is what cables will I need to purchase to connect the Bovee to whatever exists within my center console? Any suggestions or thoughts?
