Hi-Fi system without bluetooth - want to add BLuetooth somehow

Hi all,
I do not have a bluetooth module in car and would like to install something (not an FM transmitter) into Mini R55 that will connect my android (pixel 6) for music only. I don't care for phone calls/Android Auto use). I'm not finding much support for android users but more for iPhone ppl.
SO what have others out there used to connect an android wirelessly to the Hi-Fi system?

What year is your car? Do you have the USB-Aux Input module in the front console?

If you have the Aux-USB option, you can add this guy and have music control from your steering wheel:

If you don't care about car control, and just want to use a Bluetooth aux input device, there are some generic option on Amazon that work reasonably well.

yes, my car does have the USB and 3.5mm jack, thanks for that!!!!
Yeah seems the WMA3000B is what I need. I'm seeing Viseeo and Bovee brands around the net.

(damn, this seems to be sold out everywhere or no one sells it anymore :( guess I'll look in the classifieds)

I'd like to have steering wheels controls, just so I'm not playing with phone at all.
convenience costs money, but adds safety, for sure..

Thanks

Hello,


https://www.ecstuning.com/b-tune2air.../wma3000b~t2a/

Thats the set up for the dual jack. USB and Aux.

Some older MINIs (like my 2007 R56) just have the aux jack and then you just get a 3.5mm bluetooh connection for that.

Checking with vendor if they got back in stock yet.

thanks kindly, yes I looked on your website yesterday actually and noticed they are back-orderd, which is why I kept searching.

I ended up getting a free BoVee T2A WMA3000b from a local MINI owner, last night. I'm just needing to update its firmware, now.
Cheers
