Default Bluetooth integration options

I was wondering if someone could recommend a product that is relatively plug and play, and will be as unnoticeable/OEM as possible. All I really care about is music streaming, not really interested in phone capabilities.

I know that there is a module you can install that taps into the FM antenna, but I also saw something that taps into the fiber optic wires and can automatically connect to your phone via bluetooth when you have the "TEL" option on the PCM selected. This is what I prefer, as I feel it is as OEM as possible, whereas with the FM antenna option you have to have the radio on a certain radio frequency. If that is the cheapest/easiest option I will consider it, but it's not my preference.

Get the Denison unit, streams all day long right off your phone, thru PCM. I love streaming sat radio thru it, great.

I have a Dension blue-tooth unit too. Happy with it. Good OEM functionality through the PCM regarding streaming and phone function.

Just had Dension installed and dealer programmed yesterday, but haven't been able to get the music streaming. BT phone works fine.

Music streaming up and running now (w lots of help from BumperPlugs). Exactly what I wanted. OEM unit with music streaming.

With the Dension unit, does it allow the factory Bose system to function as intended right out of the box? It looks like a good setup.

Yes, sound wise no problem. The blue tooth streaming works fine, it automatically finds my phone when im close to the car and connects. You see name of songs on the pcm and can switch songs with the buttons. Works well with spotify which is what mostly use to stream music

If you want to maintain the OE system and use your PCM unit to control Sirius/XM and telephone connectivity, this is a great option. It's not the cheapest, but it gives you the best option for a OE feel.

The Dension integrates very well with PCM 2.1

What year is your turbo? What options on the head unit (cd changer, etc)?

Email for info: info@bumperplugs.com

Happy to help.
