Default How do I stream Apple Music to my 981

I have a Cayman 981 with the P9G infotainment with Bose option.

I am unable stream music via bluetooth from my iPhone to the Cayman. Am I doing something wrong, or is this not possible?

I just bought a 981 and it came with this: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-4UasT1...SABEgJlkPD_BwE

Seems to work OK via Bluetooth and still retains phone interface as well (music pauses when phone rings). I suspect sound quality is compromised a bit.

I am investigating something which has better integration.

You also might need some free vpn in case you want to use some online streaming services. I use avira, for example.

I recommend the AMusicSoft Apple Music Converter. You can use it to download Apple Music files to MP3 locally. Then move your music collection to a USB drive. You can choose from a wide range of audio formats, including MP3, M4A, WAV, and FLAC when downloading Apple Music songs with AMusicSoft Apple Music Converter.

Default Easy Solution

Ripping songs to a USB with DumpMedia Apple Music Converter and then connecting it to the car might be an easy way.

OK, so all my apple itunes are on my iphone, it connects to my Alpine head unit via usb cable. By doing this my fidelity is cd quality and not bluetooth quality. Itunes are downloaded at cd bit rate according to their website, its " lossless", with your Bose you'd want to keep that high fidelity.. The "artwork/album" appears on my screen also.
