ok, i've got bluetooth phone connected via the puck

Now where is the MHI (MIH?) (or similar) connection that taps into the fiber optic connection and will let my music streaming device work with the puck setup? I thought it was the puck, either a connection to it or where it connects but doesn't seem to be anything? Trunk? Cd changer?
Any help appreciated.

If you have one, it will be in the center console glove box. It was an option so you might not have one.

Regardless, it will not allow music streaming, just mobile phone functions.

no, that's the puck. I have a another device the plugs into the MMI and uses the fiber optics to stream much higher quality music than an fm tuner type.
I posted a link to it but i guess that's not allowed. ??

I did read your first reply, before you edited it.
Not very nice attitude to someone who did read the post, and did try and help.

Hi there, it can be confusing I know using the adaptor in the arm rest, as you have to connect the phone twice via the bluetooth, once to the Comand then to the Puck in the right order.
Here is a video I did to explain, let me know how you get on.
