How to make Bluetooth iPhone car audio adapter?
I have an 1/8" AUX plug in my Scion, for use with an iPod or iPhone...but I want to do it wireless. How would I make a Bluetooth adapter? Do they make these already? I've seen BT headphones...

Re: How to make Bluetooth iPhone car audio adapter?
You would need some sort of bluetooth device with an audio out capacity. Either that, or modify the receiver from a set of bluetooth headphones. I have a set of BT headphones in which the battery died (won't take a charge anymore). So, one of my pet projects is to wire the receiver up to a stereo mini-jack plug, so i can wire it to my speakers. Dunno how well it'd work tho.

Not hard to find dash-mounting GPS units with built-in bluetooth. 2 birds with one stone.

My guess as to the point of wireless is to not have wires everywhere like you would need for the gps... I could be wrong though.

My Garmin Nuvi has bluetooth to interact with my phone. And i can route the audio output of the GPS to an inbuilt FM transmitter to my car's stereo, but, i dunno about a bluetooth audio transmitter (other than a phone) playing well with the GPS.
