Bluetooth audio

See nmac9's DIY on how to add a power adapter. I am still not clear what Trevor is plugging into it (I'm old and a bit slow).

If you look in the glovebox, there is a flashlight that directly plugs in.

Yup and I plugged in a dually USB car charger in there to plug my ghetto fabulous $10 USB bluetooth receiver for power....then just plugged it into my OEM aux input connection to my OEM headunit which I wired into the glove box to keep things hidden and OEM clean.

OEM Headunit ----> OEM Aux Input ----> male to male audio jack ----> Bluetooth USB Receiver -----> USB Charger -----> OEM Flashlight Aux Power adapter

Frankly it is ingenius as I was actually looking an easy solution to get a switched power source. The cig lighter is not switched which sucks.

Now to figure out what to do with the big hole in my sunglasses holder in the center console..

The flashlight port works like this:

Doors unlocked: ON
Doors unlocked with zero interaction (door actuation/trunk actuation/interior lights actuation) after 16 mins: OFF
Doors locked: OFF

Time to redo my setup to be like yours Trevor. It will be better than my aux connected to a BT adapter to the cig lighter.

GROM is my second choice if this one failed. LOL. I love Grom for steering wheel button functionality and the ability to just use a USB flash drive instead of syncing the phone all the times.

That part I know --I have one of these flashlight plugs. I wondered what he was powering. It appeared to me the BT device from amazon drew power via the mini-plug and didn't need DC.

I contacted Bavsound yesterday and got a response later in the evening.
The rep said that the hardware is sourced from audiovox, so between Audiovox, DICE, and BavSound there is no difference in the hardware. He said:

From a hardware perspective they're the same piece, which we source from AudioVox. Our software is markedly more stable, however, as we made some iBus communication protocol changes due to overwhelming support issues with the older MediaBridge pieces. Further, we actually support the product.

So it seems like the frustrations that we all have with the DICE units being a pain in the dick might not be the case with BavSound, even though the price is significantly higher.

I see this in the product specs now:
2. Power supply: 5V USB

I think I'll keep my flashlight plug outlet I bought from Bruce!
