Bluetooth A2DP
Has anyone had any luck with using the Kinivio BT450 via the aux port in their glovebox? I just purchased a 09 C300 4matic Sport with BT Phone only to realize it doesnt do A2DP so I am researching options and this would seem very attractive if it does in fact work.
Let me know experiences with A2DP and some of my options out there.
Here's a link to the I found. I was hoping to just leave it all in the glovebox and run 2 BT connections (MB Phone & Kinivio iPod) through my iPhone 5.
TIA

This one worked like a charm for me:
I wanted one that didn't have to be turned on every time I get in the car, and one that didn't do phone functionality since the car already does that well.

The ViseeO Tune2Air worked pretty well in my 2010 C300. You can't advance your music selection via the steering wheel or HU but it does play. I just kept my phone within reach to show the album art and advance the tunes.

Hey OP, I just picked up the Kinivo BT you're considering and it's fantastic in my 2010 C300. Highly recommend it. I have it in the exact configuration you've specified as well (iPhone 5 w/ receiver hidden in the glovebox, and MB Bluetooth + BT450 (Kinivo)).
I do hear a very low hum when nothing is playing but it could be my non-HK speakers crapping out or just static from the AUX port. Nonetheless, it's an excellent BT music solution for the price.

Awesome! That is great news.
The hum is an easy fix. Get a ground loop isolator!
Thanks,
Don

If you use an iPhone (I have used it with a 5 and a 4), you maintain all of your steering wheel head unit controls!
