Bluetooth with Audio 50

I was digging around in my 320 today and noticed in the glove box I have the port but no connection for the iPod kit, I have the Audio 50 option (the one with the tape deck) i know about the Puck and Tail option is there any other options available? As far as I can tell streaming music is not available with the Puck and Tail.

I want to be able to at least connect my iPhone 5 or Note 3 to stream music.

Do you have 3.5mm aux input? If yes then its really easy buy Bluetooth streamer on Amazon.

No, I don't have any wiring from the glove box but I see the cut out. From what I can see ( I haven't taken out the stereo...yet) is that I would have to add the wiring. I was looking for something more compatible than just using the headphone jack on my phone.

Forget it, with Audio 50 you have only 2 options cassette deck and FM radio transmitter. You can upgrade to some used Comand unit but it's not worth of the hassle and money. You may go aftermarker but will ruin the whole look if you wanna keep the original look you can purchase

those will require additional components like amplifier and installation labor. You're looking at $1k just to make bluetooth to work. Good luck!
