Hi guys
I have an e85 with steering wheel controls but no Bluetooth. I want to have Bluetooth added with streaming through the head unit and utilising the steering wheel controls.
Looking for suggestions on the best/easiest system you use for this on your cars
Cheers Jay

This.
You can control using the buttons on the radio... not sure on the steering wheel controls as I don’t have them.

Its a straight forward easy install couple of hours first time, I did mine hardest part was finding the right media bridge. If you manage to get one and you live near to Cambridgeshire then i dont mind giving you a hand.jamesditchy wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 7:02 pm I like the sound of the dice media bridge.

Yup media bridge works well but gets its knickers in a real twist with ios10 and above . If you dont have an iPhone then I guess this isn't a problem.
2008 Sport Coupe Automatic with lots of extras.
Now with cruise control and Mediabridge Gold wheels HAVE BEEN SACKED.

Sorry thought i had more pics
media bridge connects to the two cd changer connectors Then remove the cubby hole behind the drivers seat and this will give you access to pass the cable through from the boot. Its then a case of running the cable along the centre tunnel trim, then remove the ashtray (1xscrew) and place the media in the room behind the ash tray. If you have a mic, this then needs to be connected to the media bridge and located in a conveinient place ( mine is clipped above the instrument cluster). The mic connector is a bit delicate so take care when feeding it up towards the media bridge. Mics can be ordered off ebay.
Thats about as much as there is to it.
