Review on 🚗 Revolutionize Your Car Audio with CoolStream CarPro Bluetooth Adapter - Compatible with BMW, Mini Cooper, Victory, Yamaha & Kawasaki - 30 Pin Music Interface Cable by Eric Fish

I bought this for my 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman. Strangely, before you bought this adapter, Bluetooth audio streaming was only available for phone calls and certain apps (like Google Maps), but not for other apps like TuneIn Radio or Hoopla. I bought a very expensive new BMW Y-cable from a Mini dealer to use with my iPhone 6+ and it worked great for ALL streaming audio (and even let me change songs with the steering wheel buttons). However, because the cord was so short, I had to constantly take my eyes off the road and look down to see my phone's screen (a major safety concern). Now I still had the old BMW Y-cable from the car, which was also very short, which I used with my old iPhone. So I decided to experiment with this adapter to see if it would work for my needs. It worked and worked great and now my very expensive new BMW Y cable is obsolete. Now I can mount my iPhone 6+ high on my windshield and stream audio over Bluetooth using my old BMW Y-cable + this adapter. Pairing was very easy and there was no connection loss after the first pairing, even after stopping and restarting the car or even turning off the device completely. Unfortunately, I can't change songs using the steering wheel buttons, and of course a windshield-mounted phone doesn't look as pretty as the built-in Mini Connected display right on the dash. But it's a good low-cost alternative to buying a new Mini outright. (Note: I asked a Mini dealer how much it would cost to hook up a Mini Connected to an old Mini and was told the labor costs were so prohibitive it wasn't worth it.) I'm very impressed with this one small adapter and wanted to help with beta testing future iterations of this product or new similar products.
