Hi All.

I've just bought a 2011 XC70 with Premium Sound - it has phone handsfree bluetooth, but no music streaming. 3.5mm Aux and USB sit inside the centre console.

My recent cars have all been brand new, so I've lost touch a bit with some of the slightly older tech.

Can I just check on the latest recommendation for something that will add bluetooth streaming? I don't want anything with hands free calling - the car already has that. Is there some kind of intermediate solution that allows me to control my iPhone with the steering wheel controls (AVRCP?), but doesn't have extra hands free microphone etc?

I've tried a cheap bluetooth receiver going into the 3.5mm aux, but it doesn't communicate any steering wheel control. Am I limited to devices that use CD Changer protocols? Suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Ben.
