Blue and Me Bluetooth Adaptor

[Tom34]

Hiya, as of today I’m the proud owner of a 2010 Punto Evo 1.4 GP.

When I got home, and tried to connect my phone to the car, I learned the hard way that you cannot play music via the Blue and Me system, from a phone.

I’ve been looking at work arounds all evening and there seems to be no easy way of doing it. However, if I buy a USB stick with bluetooth, plug it into the blue and me USB slot, and then connect my phone to it, will it be a work around to play music?

I’ve seen someone do it on youtube with a pre 2010 Punto Grande however I was wondering if it would work with an Evo.

If anyone knows an answer to if this would work, it would be great before I buy a bluetooth USB and try it myself.

Thanks.

The way I used was with a Bluetooth dongle connected to the 3.5mm jack, not the blue and me USB port. You can use the USB port to charge the dongle.

Something like this:

Bluetooth 4.2 AUX Receiver 3.5mm Phone Car Stereo Earphones Music Adapter 8944146380768 | eBay

Turn an aux car input into a Bluetooth connection. - Turn any earphones/headphones into a Bluetooth headset. - All in one universal Bluetooth receiver.

Hey.
I created an account just to reply as I came across this problem.

On an iPhone try having 1 track in your iTunes.
And plug in via USB, media button on the head unit and you should be able to play through the USB cable.
Bluetooth only generally works for voice calling.
