Bluetooth 5.0 aptX-HD Car Adapter Compatible for Audi MMI 3G AMI Music Interface,Audi Symphony,Audi Concert,Mercedes Media Interface and Volkswagen MDI Connector(A1-3000A)

2011 Mercedes SL: Worked better than expected. Plug and play, instructions are precise and easy to follow. Works on iPhone 📲 playlist, Pandora, and Spotify. Shows songs titles, artist etc on Mercedes Comand screen and speedometer dash, the steering wheel controls work Just as described to control listening choices. Stays nicely hidden in the center armrest- no crazy, or obtrusive wires to see. Couldn’t be more pleased.

Perfect solution for older Audis. I have a 2012 Q5 and it immediately connected and the sound quality is great. Automatically connects whenever you get in the car.

I was able to use in my Audi MMI 2G high system without any issues. Now I’ve been using it for more than two years.It can even display the song which is being played, and I can skip this song using car’s built-in controls.

I currently have the Carpro Coolstream plugged into the media interface. It works reasonably well (perfect for Apple Music, but if you want to listen to a podcast or youtube talking head, you need to first have apple music start, then press play on the podcast or youtube to be able to listen via the car stereo speakers). So reading the description of the 3000A, I was exited that it offered a "general" mode, where I don't have to listen to music and save distracting clicking around while driving. But, unfortunately, it does not work in my setup. As I have the Coolstream working fine before and after I tried, I know it is not the car-side... Pairing with the iPhone was fast , but no sound came to the stereo, not in "Apple Music" mode and not in "General" mode. I followed exactly the included instructions, spent over half an hour trying to get it to work. It is a good looking device, just not for the W164/NTG 2.5 media interface, so this post is mainly to avoid people in a similar situation to order it and to have to send it back, like I have to. I just checked, the coolstream is currently not available: https://www.amazon.com/CoolStream-Bluetooth-2005-2011-Mercedes-Equipped/dp/B08DH16FQN

Worked great for my 11 Audi a6.

Super easy to connect & use.

The device works as advertised. It works so well in fact that I felt compelled to make a review. I have tried several Bluetooth adapters and many have compromises in audio quality, or strange behavior. I have to say, this device really delivers. My favorite attribute of the device is how quickly it powers on and reestablishes connection. It is faster than the Bluetooth phone pairing (for calls) that is part of the vehicle. Track controls, and auto-pause/resume work better than any other unit I have tried. Mercedes-Benz S550. Tested with SiriusXM app, Qobuz, and generic internet radio feeds all on Android phone.

The SLK 2016 is not coming with Bluetooth for music. It’s only connecting for phone calls. I was using a lightning cable that connect to the media to play my Apple Music. With this solution I’m able to connect and play my play lists easily it’s very comfortable and automatically connect. I was not sure if to buy it or not due to the mixed reviews but decided to give it a try. So far it’s working great and I do not experience any disconnections. It’s a great solution for 2016 Mercedes using iphone. In case of any issues I’ll update the review. So far it’s 5 starts!
