No expensive Bluetooth dongle needed

[SpyderRx]

I picked up my new ST limited yesterday and was looking at the iPod cable provided. Happened to have this Bluetooth receiver I purchased from Amazon and plugged it in and what do you know, works perfect. Can stream my music, xm radio, pandora or whatever from my phone to the factory radio. And the best part is it only cost $14.99!

Congratulations on your new ST Limited. Hope to see you down the road soon.

Only downside I found is you can't change your song or station from the factory controls. Has to be done from your phone

That's a great idea. :thumbup: But so as to avoid confusion, what you have is a neat little Bluetooth receiver that feeds music INTO an iPOD dock speaker with a 30 pin connector. By plugging that into your Spyder iPod cable, you were able to feed the output from any other BT device into your Spyder's entertainment system.

The "more expensive" Sena BT dongle that is most commonly talked about here serves the opposite purpose. It takes the OUTPUT from the Spyder's entertainment system and transmits it to a BT headset. Just clarifying this for others who might be a little confused about what this dongle does.

That's not to say that you didn't make a very useful discovery. You certainly did. Enjoy the music on your new Spyder. :2thumbs: If that's a picture of it in your avatar, it sure is a good lookin' ST.

If you use the iPod cable, you can control songs from the dash.
