Bluetooth Hands Free / Music Streaming - T25 Tourer

[GarethWilliams]

Hi, just a quickie. I'm looking to get this sorted in the new year and I've seen an American site called Auxcarkits that sells an Aux box that plugs into the back of the radio and allows SD card, USB and Aux inputs as well as an optional bluetooth dongle that allows music streaming / hands free. Is this the best place to buy if you're a UK resident?

I have a Nokia car kit in mine (I think it's a Nokia, the plug into the base of the cradle looks Nokia looking) as there is a cradle to the left of the heater controls and a mic up top by the interior lights. Plan was to ditch that car kit, add a bluetooth box thing to make the car bluetooth hands free with music streaming. Would the above be what I need? Wondering if anyone knows if the mic I have up by the interior lights can be used with the Bluetooth box thing or if that also won't be needed? Seeing as it's been routed up there it'd be a shame to chop it out if it can be used in some shape or form with a different bluetooth kit?

I'm hopeless with aftermarket technology so if there is a better site or better product then I'm all ears!

If I can stream music and have hands free calls then I'm happy, I don't neccesserily need SD, USB or aux inputs. If I can stream music, have hands free calls and have steering wheels controls for volume, tracks etc then even better ?!!

Thanks in advance

Everything works as it should with total steering control. I installed the Bluetooth/USB version. Every Toyota has the CD changer port at the rear of the stereo, so it is plug and play. Delivery was quick when I ordered mine, as the seller keeps stock in the UK. It comes with it's own mic and you should use that, because different mics have different sensitivities.

Plays well from all memory sources and the bluetooth streaming is great. Even the track can be changed from the controls - stereo/and steering.

Just over £52 for this is great value.
