Bluetooth 5.0 Car Adapter for Audi with AMI Interface, Mercedes & Volkswagen with MDI Connector, Bluetooth Receiver with aptX-HD Sound for MMI 3G/3G+ System(Audi Symphony,Audi Concert)

I was able to use in my Audi MMI 2G high system without any issues. Now I’ve been using it for more than two years.It can even display the song which is being played, and I can skip this song using car’s built-in controls.

2011 Mercedes SL: Worked better than expected. Plug and play, instructions are precise and easy to follow. Works on iPhone 📲 playlist, Pandora, and Spotify. Shows songs titles, artist etc on Mercedes Comand screen and speedometer dash, the steering wheel controls work Just as described to control listening choices. Stays nicely hidden in the center armrest- no crazy, or obtrusive wires to see. Couldn’t be more pleased.

I currently have the Carpro Coolstream plugged into the media interface. It works reasonably well (perfect for Apple Music, but if you want to listen to a podcast or youtube talking head, you need to first have apple music start, then press play on the podcast or youtube to be able to listen via the car stereo speakers). So reading the description of the 3000A, I was exited that it offered a "general" mode, where I don't have to listen to music and save distracting clicking around while driving. But, unfortunately, it does not work in my setup. As I have the Coolstream working fine before and after I tried, I know it is not the car-side... Pairing with the iPhone was fast , but no sound came to the stereo, not in "Apple Music" mode and not in "General" mode. I followed exactly the included instructions, spent over half an hour trying to get it to work. It is a good looking device, just not for the W164/NTG 2.5 media interface, so this post is mainly to avoid people in a similar situation to order it and to have to send it back, like I have to. I just checked, the coolstream is currently not available: https://www.amazon.com/CoolStream-Bluetooth-2005-2011-Mercedes-Equipped/dp/B08DH16FQN

The device works as advertised. It works so well in fact that I felt compelled to make a review. I have tried several Bluetooth adapters and many have compromises in audio quality, or strange behavior. I have to say, this device really delivers. My favorite attribute of the device is how quickly it powers on and reestablishes connection. It is faster than the Bluetooth phone pairing (for calls) that is part of the vehicle. Track controls, and auto-pause/resume work better than any other unit I have tried. Mercedes-Benz S550. Tested with SiriusXM app, Qobuz, and generic internet radio feeds all on Android phone.

Worked great for my 11 Audi a6.

Perfect solution for older Audis. I have a 2012 Q5 and it immediately connected and the sound quality is great. Automatically connects whenever you get in the car.

For last few days whenever I am driving my car and enjoying the spotify, I feel elited when music is finally coming from my car when I play the music from my phone :). I doubted many times whether these items would work or not, But this is so cool.I bought my car in 2017 and fed up with a temporary bluetooth speaker for music and keep charging it in and out. So I took some time and finally bought this one.When I connected to my car and played some songs, I heard a buzzy sound in background and thought the product is a failure. But after few songs played, that buzzing sound gone. My rationale was that, the car speakers never(vaguely) played any music (ofcourse the speakers work for phone calls beforehand). and the dust or something was settled there(?) which is gone after few songs. Voila .. I love the experience of my Audi music and the comfort of using Spotify.

Super easy to connect & use.
