Bluetooth
Hi - I have a 2004 RX-8 with the 9.5 head unit firmware, I know that's the least popular/modifiable one; but I would really like to add BT audio to the car. Driving around with headphones is a real pain. Was there ever a way to add it to that firmware without upgrading the firmware, or just replacing the head unit?
Thanks. |
You can upgrade your HU or get a GROM w/ BT. Your choice.
|
AFAIk you can no longer upgrade the firmware. But why does your audi need to be bluetooth? Just install and Auxmod.

No problemo ;)

I have the grom bluetooth/aux/USB thing that plugs into the back where your CD changer would go. Sometimes I get some whine but it's only sometimes and only seems to be at night. I would still recommend it, aux cables are dumb when bluetooth connects automatically and sounds just as good.. Except for the rare whining that pops up every once in a while.

True - but I didn't think any of the Grom products worked with firmware 9.5

I don't know what firmware I have, in fact I don't think I checked before I ordered the GROM kit. It's an early 2004 Rx8... prior to the cooling line update. (just found out today)

I also got one for the aux input. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...cf4045837e.jpg I think it looks factory https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...37cb87d106.jpg Grom mounted in glove box https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...52633a3143.jpg Bluetooth adapter below the shift boot. |
Can you check what firmware you have? If that would work I would prefer BT vs aux in.

I tried searching and saw a lot of posts on firmware, but didn't see any on how to actually check. Mind letting me know and I'll find out later tonight.
Thanks in advance! |
