You have to get the ac delco OEM ipod cable part # Part No.: 25908035. DO NOT get the superceded part number 84114049. The OEM cable is white the superceded part number is black and won't work.

Normally Bluetooth in these automobiles does not support audio. iPhones may be different as I am an Android guy. You mentioned ,"...I've been using the USB port which has worked great thus far..." which indicated to me that you are able to have audio through the bluetooth. Part of your problem may be the brand new model 13.

I can get audio through the USB port, but not through bluetooth. Bluetooth support on the car is only for phone calls, unfortunately. It doesn't support bluetooth audio (doesn't show up as a speaker you can stream music to).

 

Yep. Remember, these cars were designed in and around 2006 and hit the showroom in late summer 2007. Technology wasn't the greatest then.

 

The only bluetooth solution I'm aware of is the bluetooth/FM adapter. Yea, the controls on the phone need to be used, but it does work to listen to the audio over the cars stereo

 

Are some good BT adapters on Amazon that support A2DP and not just TCS. Good ones can use wheel phone button plus stream music/GPS as an AUX input. Even better ones also have a voltmeter and an on/off switch.

Try this or this since cig lighter is on only with ignition.

ps since CTS has an AUX input, no need for a RF/FM device.

 

The Topping D50S DAC accepts both bluetooth and USB inputs while producing excellent quality audio, unlike some of the cheap solutions. It isn't small or cheap, requires modest installation, and leaves the audio interface and music library entirely up to your phone. Which, given the mid-2000s technology in the stereo, is probably a good thing. It even supports the high-end LDAC bluetooth audio codec, which sounds great. And USB sounds even better as it is lossless.

I use Android in my car, don't know how much of this your iPhone can use. Obviously it can bluetooth, but I have no idea about the LDAC BT format or driving a USB DAC.

 

Most of the newer gadgets sound good to me but am not an audiophile and have no desire to shake the next car.

 

Nowhere in my write-up do I show the installation of apparatus to "shake the next car".

 

Thank you for the discussion, folks. Much appreciated.

I found a solution to add CarPlay support, but at $600 it's a bit pricey. I'll probably just stick with my bluetooth dongle and get used to changing tracks from the phone.

 

I'm dealing with this very problem right now. I have ordered the oem ipod cable plus a Bluetooth to 30pin adapter to test. It's a pricey test but if it works to change tracks with steering wheel controls it's all worth it.

Bluetooth to 30pin adapter? I didn't know such a thing existed. Please let me know if this works for you!

 

This one ? Typical Apple.

 

Yes that one.

I still have my OEM apple cord.

 

I've been curious to know if the Bovee 1000 might work in our vehicles. I emailed the retailer and they said they weren't sure but with free returns you could try it out.

 

I have a gm apple cable and a Bluetooth to 30 pin and it does NOT work for steering wheel controls and info on screen. But I'll give this one a shot and report back

If connecting to 3.5 mm audio plug in glove & selecting AUX, volume and mute should work.

 

"change tracks " Pretty sure that must be done at the source. I use Rocket Player on my Galaxy to sort/select. My NavTool does that but only the latest versions are wireless, I have to connect via the USB slot with my 2018 version & they do not offer an upgrade.

 

I have had good results with this:
UGREEN BT~Aux https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081GGB53R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_G8V235409FBTM1RC8AWH

you don’t get display of media or track control via the steering wheel, but it connects as soon as I turn on the car, the phone function connects separately to the car itself, and I at least get volume controls with the steering wheel and don’t have to tether my phone to the car with a cable.
It all remains hidden away in my center console so I don’t have dongles and cables all over my car and I can stash or take out a separate charging cable as needed to avoid additional clutter.
Not optimal, but also not the worst situation I’ve been in as far as my phone media meets a car audio system goes.

Not exactly sure how you are measuring your results, but I will comment that these cheapo bluetooth adapters are not what you want for playing music over the stereo aux input. One doesn't need to be an audiophile to notice the sound quality is terrible.

 

But better than satellite.

 

maybe someone can help me here i have a cadillac cts 2010, i wanna control my music through the steering wheel, like skip or pause. any suggestions? my phone also doesnt get supported thru the usb so i put in a bluetooth adapter for the music. any suggestions help. thanks

 

Not Bluetooth capable. Only for phone calls. Circa 2006 technology. You need a plug in adapter.

 

do u sugest any plug in adapter? i already use a bluetooth adapter that goes in the port, but cant control anything from the steering wheel

 

You won't get steering wheel control for anything other than volume.

 

i figured. you think theres a way to have or no chance?

 

I'm not the radio guru, but I have been here for many moons. I don't remember much about changing stations from anyone. Have you worked with Crutchfield? Have you searched here?

 

ive looked and nothing. Here on the group i havent checked
