I got mine working...what shows up on your phone when it first links with your stereo? I get handsfree, audio, and remote. Try deleting and re-pairing the phone and stereo. Go to source on you stereo and select BT Audio, and see if anything happens. Also, if you use pandora, you have to go into options and enable Bluetooth.

You can get a universal Bluetooth audio adapter from new egg, or any online electronics distributor. It will have a reciever with some form of audio out (rca or headphone jack) that you will have to plug into your aux jack anyway.

Or for more money, you can get a handsfree system from Parrot (forget which ones can do bluetooth audio) and have that installed. Not too cheap for these.

IMO just stick with the aux input on your radio. Sound quality will remain good, and streaming audio through bluetooth is a battery hog, so you're just gonna have to plug your phone into a charger anyway. more cords. Save your money.
