I would get this constantly when I tried to connect both simultaneously. Worked fine if I dropped the PCM phone connection. Was too annoying, sold the Tune2Air. At some point I figure I will just spend the money on a new head unit and jump the technology forward by 15 years. Until then I just stick to the 1500 songs on my little iPod.

I ordered a Bovee1000 off of Amazon after reading this thread. Received it this morning and (like others have said) had it up and running in 10 minutes. Works seamlessly. I was stuck after moving to an iPhone X and losing my headphone jack. Now I have super simple Bluetooth streaming. Makes the car feel more modern. I liked it enough I ordered another one for my wife's Q5 later in the day.

While we are on the subject.

With the Bovee hookup I can get the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons on the PCM to work maybe 50% of the time, skipping to next track or replay. I also mapped the multi function joker button to NEXT but that does not seem to work ever. Volume obviously works always.

Anyone get the NEXT and PREVIOUS button on PCM to work reliably? MF joker?

Thanks. Seems pretty solidly hooked up and otherwise works flawlessly.

Btw I'm using IPOD not aux. With aux I can't get the next and previous to work. They do when in PCM IPOD mode FYI.

I have another mystery maybe you guys can help me with? I just installed the bovee1000 and the initial test was awesome. I flipped it to iPOD instead of AUX. It worked immediately via AUX. For some reason I can't get the volume button to work. Volume button does nothing (on the PCM). Driving me batty. Volume works fine on other inputs and worked in initial test.

Answering this for myself, in case it helps others. Looks like it's a problem with newer iPhones 7+. I can work around it and get volume by enabling AUX and switching to AUX instead of iPod input. Plays fine and I can adjust volume. No idea how it recognizes the Bovee over AUX but it does and it works. I can swap my Pixel (Android) phone in and it works fine over the iPod setting. Haven't tried w/my old iPhone 6s, but I'm guessing it's even better.

On PCM 3 you should be on iPod not AUX

Hmm. Not my experience. Pair bovee to phone for media. On Android you need to make sure you turn off cell streaming service sometimes. PCM volume control active. iPhone volume also active. PCM will not show track name or scrubber, that's viewable I'm phone.

Backup is load mp3s on a usb stick. PCM 3 will index and play.

I have a iPhone 7 plus and ordered the Coolstream Carpro. It works flawlessly. As soon as i start my car, the phone is linked and i can play anything on my phone. all functions on PCM work perfect. Def would recommend for bluetooth streaming.

This one on this link?


Does it display album/track/playlist lists on the PCM display and its controls?

Damon88

ADias yes thats the one i purchased. i found an open box one on eBay. It completely solved the bluetooth streaming problem with the PCM

Don't you mean this one for Audi and VW's?
