LOL that's a hilarious analogy. I gotta tell her that one. Funny thing is, she is an electrical engineer and shuns technology.

So AMI cable will probably need to be modified to simulate a 3.5mm Stereo AMI Cable (i.e. use analog audio signal). More info here: http://www.a5oc.com/forums/a5-s5-top...o-via-mmi.html
This.

The AMI cable is designed to plug straight into the i-whatever's output. To stream via BT, you have to have an analog connection touching the CORRECT output of the bluetooth dongle..... which is NOT the same as where the signal comes out on the i-whatever. (don't hold me to this, but this is the exact reason I had to modify my cable to work with the Blackberry Gateway). BUT. If it works, then huge kudos. Many here will be very happy.

Unfortunately Apple probably is not going to allow this to happen on a full-scale level because when it does you will be able to use ALL Bluetooth phones on what used to be an Apple-only appliance (dock, car connector, etc.). Hence coming out with the Lightning/ 30-pin adapter instead.

As long as mine comes in the mail prior to Apple suing them off the market, I'll be happy.

Its about time someone takes out Apple at the knees. Maybe they can find a way to topple Google too.

Some of the smartest people I work with don't like computers.

JHRIII is correct. This won't work. Its been discussed before. Search the forum. I've researched this for sometime. I do have a solution that I'll try to post with pics tonight.

There appear to be many of these devices, if you go to Amazon and search 'iphone bluetooth adapter'. I bought the
Patuoxun Patuoxun
for a grand total of $16.

Figured it's worth it just to experiment.

One question I have is can my iPhone 5 support multiple bluetooth devices. It's no good to have pandora streaming if I can't use the handsfree system. I need both!

If this works I'll also report in.

What won't work? The Bluetooth adapter or the cable modification?

You must have the cable mod to make the bluetooth work with the ipod AMI cable.
