HELP: Is there a simple A2DP Bluetooth Music stream solution ?
Checked the threads and seems to be a lot of conjecture on the issue.
I a have a 2010 XKR and using an iPhone 5. Would like to stream music via Bluetooth such as pandora etc.
Any constructive advise would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Spotted this on eBay:

Might be a useful starting point

bumping this to see if OP figured out a solution....I just got my 2010 XKR and want to stream BT audio from my Galaxy S4. Ive done some research already but no definite answer yet, hate to spend 100+$ on the tune2air for it not to work. Ive already tried one brand of BT ipod adapter

Tune2air
Currently streaming in my gt with tune 2 air no problems at all and great sound. The only thing is whatever app you plan to use for music in car you would need to make sure all other music apps are off as it might try to access them as you switch tracks.

I bought a couple Blackberry Stereo gateways. One for the home, the other for the car.... Haven't tried the Jag yet, as I still have to install the Audio Control Module as well.
Should be simple to try if you already have the ACM (not standard on my 2007....)

BrightPlay 30 Pin Bluetooth Audio Receiver/ Adapter For IPhones And IPods
Hi,
I ordered this last week, as it states that it will also work for Android phones and I have an Samsung S4. (For $37, it is worth a try!)
Should arrive in 10 days, I'll post an update..

...and I just tried the Tune2air with my iPhone 5 and 2012 XKR-S. Pandora will only play for one second and then stops.
What the f*#*!!!
Pairing is successful, the Bluetooth is working, but the iPhone just won't stream. Same thing happens when I use the cord with a Lightning adapter.
Help!

When you say "use the cord", is that when you connect it to the Jag iPod port via the Lightning adaptor? If that's the case, the Tune2air is not likely to be the problem; it would suggest there's an iPhone 5 compatibility issue. Or your audio system needs a reset - yoink, wait 30s then replace: fuses 21 (blue) & 24 (red) in the rear-seat fuse box.

Streaming is the problem.

Yah, BigD... nothing else is happening on the iPhone, just Pandora. Mixing up the activation order (starting Pandora before even opening the car door) doesn't make a difference, either. Shut down iPhone, restarted, no change. Pairing is perfect between the car and the Tune2Air, there are no problems docking the device via Bluetooth... but there's something else going on.
This is from the helpful folks at Pandora, who surprisingly replied to my email within a day:
It's a shame. The tiny fragment of music that plays sounds great.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for writing. A lot of "iPod/iPhone-compatible" docks and accessories have built-in software that trigger the onboard "iPod" MP3 music player on the iPhone, interrupting Pandora (or other audio software), since third-party audio apps like ours weren't a big deal when the accessory was designed.
You might be able to get it working by following a particular set of steps (e.g., connect the phone, then launch Pandora) but often it will only work correctly some of the time. Ultimately the manufacturer of the dock is the best place to go to find out how to get third-party apps working.
Hope this helps. Thanks for listening!
