Review on πŸš— Revolutionize Your Car Audio with CoolStream CarPro Bluetooth Adapter - Compatible with BMW, Mini Cooper, Victory, Yamaha & Kawasaki - 30 Pin Music Interface Cable by Stephen Zimmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! the best of the aux input adapters

Works great on 2014 328xi. First, I just plugged it into a Y-cable and plugged in the phone, used iDrive to select the USB port for my external music device, and the music streamed straight away. I then tried to make a call using SIRI and the phone didn't switch to Bluetooth car kit until I turned off the CarPro. I then disconnected both the car and the CarPro and reconnected them first to the CarPro and then to the BMW. Now they both connect to my iPhone 6S every time with no issues. I can stream MP3s from the Music app or Pandora, Waze gives me verbal instructions and uses SIRI to make calls. I charge my phone with a cigarette lighter charger, which works a lot better than trying to power it from the USB port under the armrest - now I just need to find a good phone mount. Note that when connected via bluetooth the phone treats this as an external speaker so you have to put the phone on a high volume (I use max volume then turn it off for 1 click). Also go to your phone settings and try different equalizer settings for the music app.

Pros
  • fingers crossed
Cons
  • I'm worried
