Each has a 4 hour battery life and I charge one while the other is in use. I stream everything very easily from my phone ... SiriusXM, Tunein, GPS, etc. the mic is pretty good for handfree telephone.
Most of us buying this have the Nav unit, meaning there's no changing our OEM units, & not to mention, these units tie directly into the fibre optic system, meaning it's the exact sound you'd get from the CD changer...

iqury.us page seems to be down. I would be interested in one bluetooth unit. Are you still making them?

EDIT: Nevermind! I was contacted by e-mail. For some reason clicking the link didnt work for me, but when I type it manually it works fine.

Thanks so much to Venelin for this fabulous device. He very kindly installed my unit about a month ago, and my audio system is transformed. I was using a POS FM modulator since I bought this car, and I hated it so very much. Venelin's box is, quite simply, fantastic. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I'm so excited I found this forum. I just purchased a 2008 XJ. Love the car but needed an update to audio.


How can I purchase a box and get installation instructions?

Drat!
Just been to the site and it says that they(?) have stopped making them. I've left it to late.
Shame I was waiting until I visited the States to avoid all the extra charges.

Perhaps one day there will be another batch.

Hello everyone

Since the device is no longer available, would you share some more details to possibly recreate similiar one ?
I am interested in such a device and since I cannot buy it I might be able to hack similiar one, I would need some details on the d2b protocol hack and what board did you use to get into the in-car system loop.

The rest I will be able to figure out, I have been searching around and found out that possibly using some mercedes stuff would be able to hack inside the loop.

I would love to buy one of these because I am about to spend over $1000 on an aftermarket radio and installation. I hate the look of aftermarket, but I cannot stand having no Bluetooth in my 2004 XJ8 anymore. If anybody hears of a devise we can get that is like the Venelin's box, please let me know. Thank you!!!

Adam, I had Bluetooth on my 2006 XJ8L that I installed myself without touching the original system. In fact I am trying to setup a similar system on my glk350.

Here are the components you need:

1. ACM Audio connectivity module
2. bluetooth receiver

With this setup, in addition to the CD player and radio, I had Ipod, USB, Bluetooth available on my XJ. I also had an Amazon Echo and was listening to stream without any commercials.

Let me know if you need any help. I will send you my contact information through private message. I also have the components for sale if you need them.

Thank you so much Cergun! I emailed you asking how much you would charge for the setup. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again!

To those who were lucky enough to get their hands on one of Venelin's boxes before he stopped making them:

My unit used to permit me to use my radio controls to pause, skip forward, and skip back when playing music from my iPhone. It still works on my old iPhone5S (iOS12), and it worked on my iPhone6. It didn't work on my 6s; it did work on my wife's iPhone X, and it doesn't work on my iPhone 11. Have any of you run across this problem? Have you found a fix to it, or any explanation of underlying reasons it works on some iPhones, but not on others?

Thanks,
Doug

Hi Joey, sorry but my 2009 had Bluetooth capability so I did not have to upgrade that

Thanks for the response. So the BT on your 09 can play/stream music too? Maybe I should have specified that playing music over BT is more of a priority for me than using phone.
