Layen i-dock Bluetooth 4.0 reciever into ACM

I wanted to try bluetooth audio in the car and looking at ways to do it. As I fitted the ACM last year i thought I would give this a try.

Well, it works great with my phone and audio sounds just as good as the ipod, definately worth the £24.99 and £1 odd postage Thumbs Up

It plays the music through the ACM with great sound then when the phone rings or when making a call the music PAUSES ( which the iPod doesn't ) so you can take the call through the d3 BT . Then after the call the music resumes Thumbs Up

Just replace the iPod with the layen Thumbs Up Took all of 15 seconds to install (10 of which were getting the layen out of the box ). Just plugs straight into the 30 pin adapter
