Bluetooth 30 Pin iPod iPhone Adapters? Which one? A2DP

hello,
i'm sure quite a few of you have installed 30 pin iPod / iPhone A2DP bluetooth adapters.

can you please list which brand/model you have, and how the sound quality is? I just installed a iPod interface into my 2007 E63 AMG W211 and purchased a NAXA NAB-4000 Bluetooth v3.0 device and the sound quality is horrible. Any frequencies mids and lows are not being transmited. Basically it sounds like your listening to music off a radio from the 80's.

when i plug in the NAXA NAB-4000 into my BOSE Sound Dock it sounds perfectly fine. Thinking that maybe I need a 12v to 5v converter, or this unit just doesn't support Mercedes vehicles. Anybody have the Auris FreeDa Bluetooth v4.0 adapter?

just looking for another Bluetooth adapter that works for you all so i can attempt.

Thanks!

well I bought a NAXA NAB-4000 which support bluetooth 4.0, and the sound quality is horrible on the W211. it also doesn't support track name or music library display.

i've been told that the ViseeO Tune2Air works well and sounds great. From what I gather this is the only one that actually displays track information, as well as phone library on screen if iPhone.

i haven't been able to find any other device that clearly states library support and track name support. or even album art.

Tune2Air's library support is rather slow though from what i've seen as it is a bluetooth 2.0 device.
