Bluetooth Adapter Compatibility with BMW Mini Cooper Aux 3.5 Cellphone Play HiFi Music

I was looking for a solution to connect my music /podcasts (via my iPhone) to my 2013 Mini, because I'm not a fan of local radio or paying for satellite radio. I tried connecting via bluetooth, usb and aux, and nothing seemed to work. Then I discovered that the trick is to connect to ALL THREE at the same time - with this gadget. I plugged it into my car's usb and aux (which are located next to one another in my console), then connected via bluetooth to my phone. It worked in a matter of seconds. Now all I have to do is choose "aux" mode on my car and I'm instantly connected (as long as my phone's bluetooth is on). I think the sound quality is really good - especially if I increase the volume on my phone vs. the car's audio. There are trade-offs - you have to control things with your phone, vs. your car's controls, but it is SO worth it to finally be able to play my own music.

Being used in a 2013 Mini Cooper with an iPhoneSE2020. My plug in iphone adapter cable gave up, so I purchased what I thought was the same cable....but, it prevented using Siri to work correctly and it's was having issues only after a few weeks. So, I found this little black paddle Bluetooth device that does everything my old adapter cable did, minus the charging of the iPhone. I keep a basic charging cable in the vehicle, along with a cigarette lighter adapter, for use when needed. (charging the phone does not interrupt the bluetooth from working). Most times, I don't need to charge up my phone on the drive to work and back, so this is okay. Small, black paddle, little blue light and a voice that gently says the "Bluetooth is connected successfully" For the price I'm happy with it. I've adjusted my tone controls to brighten up the compressed audio sound. At least now I can run Waze (navigation), Pandora and Siri at the same time without issues.

Easy to set up, easy to install, flawless performance.

This little gadget is a fantastic work around to connecting your phone to your car, specifically if you drive older models. This BT adapter provides high quality/fidelity sound thru car stereo. Connectivity and ease of installation are right on point, nothing to it. Installed on a 2015 Mini Cooper S Countryman.

10 second installation. Works well in parallel with the 2008 CCC bluetooth. Have to use phone to select, skip, and so forth - but it works and reconnects automatically. Sound quality on par with current Bluetooth devices. Small device doesn't take up much space.

For Bluetooth pairing, it is listed as SGBT2507. Once that was figured out it,. it paired easily and sounds great. Using with our 2009 BMW 328i (E90). Appreciate these little devices!

Received it today and it was easy to connect Bluetooth however the 1/8" auxiliary connector is to small and doesn't make contact so you only get the left channel. If you wiggle it around it cuts in and out. We tried another 1/8" connector and it works great so it's not the port. Sending it back and cannot recommend it. Keep looking for another brand or take your chances.

bought for my 13’ 128i and its perfect! the bluetooth works and so does the steering wheel buttons!
