If you've got the 2011 GS like me then no you can't. Bluetooth is only for calls in our cars FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

That item won't make your phone function hands free (if that's what you mean).

It won't work with the steering controls - that's what I meant in my previous comment. Only proper hard wired head unit replacements will work with that. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

There is a lot of confusion about Bluetooth, it was originally designed as a short range low level communication protocol to connect two devices in the same way that you can connect your phone to a wifi router. The problem is that there are other layers of application software required to use that underlying protocol and these have to match the devices. My daughter has a Renault Megane iMusic edition car which will play music via bluetooth from her phone but she can't make phone calls from it whilst my 2011 FL2 does the opposite.

my Insignia could handle a single Bluetooth connection for calls and streaming, complete with album art and caller ID picture if set up on the phone. It was an excellent system to be fair

I have a MY2010 XS so although I can use the phone hands free I have to stream music from my phone via a cable to the 3.5mm jack socket. However, I did buy this:

Well got the unit through and wow it's great. Streams the music from my iPhone whilst sat in its charging cradle. Steering wheel volume controls work with it, but to move tracks on you need to do that on the phone - but no big deal. And, it still works with the LR Bluetooth - when making receiving a call, the music automatically pauses. Potential downside could be, as you need to charge it before use, I think you'd need to switch it off when not being used. However, not sure on that and don't know what life you'd get with a charge yet. But all in all, very impressed for just a £5 spend...... well worth it. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:- Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip, Bluetooth Music Streaming Module. |
