    My 360 had the 30pin iPod cable installed and routed to the glovebox. It's not really long enough to reroute to a reachable spot. So, I found this $20 30pin Bluetooth adaptor on Amazon and it works great (well, as great as the crappy sound can be from the Becker)

    The phone autoconnects when in range, and I control music from phone. It is powered even with the car off, so I'd recommend disconnecting it if not driving often.

    Sorry about all pics being malrotated :/

    I bought this as suggested by Eric. It works amazingly well and is a great option for those of us with the cable in the glovebox

    will this allow you to stream music from your phone or other device via BT? Ideal if it will work with Pandora or other.

    I just bought the lightning cable adapter for the Becker...that way it charges at the same time. As much as I like Bluetooth, the need to keep charged up is equally as important to me. The lightning cable serves both functions..charging and audio for Pandora, youtube or a GPS app like Waze

    I tried this but cannot get music to stream. It shows that it is connected to my phone but says no media connected on the Becker.

    Sounds like the cable isn't connected on the unit or it's not set to "Aux"... It should display "Aux" when taking a signal from the iPod cable

    Bluetooth is "generic" technology, it will work with any android device as well.

    There should be plenty of threads about the lightning cable adapters that use the mini-iso connector to back of the radio.
