Default Adding Bluetooth to XK8

I recently acquired a 1998 XK8 convertible w/ 19,000 miles. Any suggestions on adding a bluetooth system to this car?

thanks

There are some bluetooth equipped after market head units you can buy that will make it "seamless". However, a cheaper and easier option are cigarette lighter bluetooth adapters that transmit sounds to your radio over FM signals, or have a small speaker on them to use for speakerphone type stuff.

Here is a link to what phd12volt did.

I did the same thing and it works great,I hardwired the power and hide the control unit under the console and ran the ipod plug into the tray in the console.I also put a switch on the antenna which helps keep the stray signals overriding the output of the unit.So know I have both Ipod usage as well as bluetooth.PM me if you would like more info after you have read the thread.
