I really wish I had bluetooth in my vehicle so that I wouldnt have to keep plugging my phone up to that cord. Does anybody know a way I can get bluetooth in my Max?

 

Just go with an aftermarket bluetooth unit like a Parrot

 

there was some talk about Bluetooth alternatives in another thread however I cannot remember which one it was. are you referring to Bluetooth streaming audio or Bluetooth when talking on the phone??

 

Music streaming. My bluetooth works in the car for talking only

 

You could go with one of Jabras speakerphones. I've used them in other vehicles. They connect to your phone via Bluetooth so no cable. If you get the right model, it will pump the incoming calls through the cars audio system using a fm transmitter, again no wires. Mounts on your sun visor. You can also use this set up to play music from your phone through the car audio.

 

Do you have an iPhone by any chance? From what I understand the new software does not allow you to add your phone as a bluetooth streaming device.

 

I do have a iPhone 5 and that works fairly well with the bluetooth in my 2012 Max. I have also synced that phone with a Jabra speakerphone in my wife's car and it works well on that as well.

 

Make sure that your on the latest version of iOS which is now 6.1.3

 

Just found this so I thought I would share with the S model Maxima's

$10 .....

I saw a review yesterday on CNet for a GoGroove SmartMini Aux product. You may want to take a look at cnet.com and read their reviews. Didn't sound like a perfect product, but then, to each their own!

 

I just purchased the Belkin F8Z492-P Bluetooth Music Receiver for my S model. This will work for now until I upgrade my audio next year sometime.

 

The best the the Blackberry Music Gateway....small and compact and is aesthetically pleasing.

 

I can second this. I have all my music on a thumb drive I leave plugged in the USB port, but then I've got a BB Gateway plugged in to my RCA inputs in case I want to stream Pandora or Slacker or whatever. Of course you still have to control it off your phone/device, but works like a champ.
