Question S550 Bluetooth Adapter Inquiry
Found this one on Amazon for $34.20/ That's over $50 less than the BoVee at $87.95.

Wondering if it's compatible and has anyone tried it.

Thinking of getting it for my 2011 S550. Wondering if anyone is using it and how they like it.

Big difference in price, though.

Can you change tracks from the car controls with the bowee? How about displaying the track info on the car screen?

Thanks.

Yes you can change tracks.

It does not show track info...only downside.

Thanks.

Thanks.
I just bought this exact adaptor and it works great. It also sounds much better than the one I had before. The only issue is that it stays connected to my phone even when the car has been turned off in the garage for a few min. I just disconnect it on my phone when I go inside my house. It does not change tracks or display the track information via the Command screen. You'll have to change tracks via the phone. For what I need, Youtube, Pandora, MP3's, it's perfect.

Does the Drimfly have to be charged or requires a separate power source to operate?

When I select the Media Interface option in the Audio section of the command system, the screen says No device connected, music not playing?
My phone shows the connection to BT Speaker, but the car is not connecting.
What step am i missing here?
