In-Car Bluetooth Speaker

[tim]

So I want to fit a bluetooth speaker into the Jag, so I we can stream from my phone without bastardising the OE stereo. They seem to range from £30 in Tesco to £200+ in John Lewis.

Anyone have any experience of these and what sounds good without being too expensive? Bonus if it can be 12v powered.

Is yours an X350? Not sure of yours if it's compatible but Jag units are upgradble with Jagdroid so you can use android auto.

What about this?

Yeah, there are similar things available for BMWs (where you unplug the CD changer, and the BT device 'behaves' like a CD changer in terms of keeping dash controls, etc - it just feeds audio from a BT feed, not the CD player - obviously has it's limits in terms of folder navigation etc).

That's probably the most sensible option long term, but my brothers lazy arsed solution in the Citroen was to just hang a bluetooth speaker from the mirror and not overthink it

Yeah, Grom units for Volvos. I would be astonished if there is not something similar for Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags.

Do hyoid have an aux in point? If so have thought about an Alexa auto?

No aux in on these, only cd changer input.

An FM transmitter might be the cheapest and easiest way.

Bluetooth module that plugs in instead of cd changer then? https://www.discountcarstereo.com/Bluet ... ooth.html/

The easiest way was mounting a bluetooth speaker to the rear parcel shelf, as per my original post
