Adding Bluetooth Audio

[RICH17]

I'm trying to hook up my new S3 to my car via Bluetooth cause the S3 has the power and headphone jack on opposite side of the phone and having it plugged in charging and the headphone jack will be a bitch in the car. I've seen some Bluetooth adapters but not one that goes to RCA. Any ideas on what to use besides a new radio?

You could use this adapter

I bought a Miccus Mini RX for my terrain, and built everything into a project box. 99% of the time it connects right away, every once in a while I need to hit the button on the Miccus unit for it to pick up. It is one of the few (from my findings at least) that power on automatically when the power comes on. Most you have to connect every time. I got mine on Amazon and all of these receivers have really mixed reviews but I'm very happy with mine.

You can use the adapter listed above to connect the Miccus unit to your radio

Wont I lose quality having so many connections?

Then look for a 1/8" headphone jack to RCA cable.

But bluetooth streaming is going to be your biggest loss of quality anyway.

This.

Target sells RCA to jack cables for cheap. I used one in my old car with a Sony.

RCA or FM output, hardwire, tuck somewhere, just have the cable chilling out plugged in so you can unplug it if someone wants the 3.5mm for their use....
