Hello all
New to this forum.
Can anyone point the right direction to what I need to do to add Bluetooth to a 2008 EX35?
It has Bose but no Bluetooth. Can a radio from an newer model be installed that has Bluetooth already
or what aftermarket product may work with the existing radio to add Bluetooth?
Thanks,
Steve

Does your EX have any inputs in the center console? I just purchased a 2009 XE35 AWD Journey and it has RCA jacks in the console which is a bit surprising. Im going to buy a Bluetooth adapter with RCA outputs from Amazon and give it a try. I have a similar setup in my 2009 BMW Z4 using the 3.5mm stereo line in jack and a Bluetooth adapter.

Sorry for late reply. Yes I have the plug entry point in the center console. I don't have the wire harness, but the car has the plug.

Hmmm, makes me wonder if the center console RCA inputs are wired to the head unit. I’ll find out tomorrow.

Good news! Plugged in the $16 Bluetooth adapter I purchased from Amazon to the RCA jacks, hit the aux button and I can now stream music, podcasts, etc. from my cell phone.

which adapter did you use ?

Sorry for the late reply. I ordered from Amazon.

SONRU Bluetooth Aux Adapter, Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver Car Adapter Aux Bluetooth Audio Adapter with 3.5mm AUX Cable, RCA Cable, Dual AUX Outputs for Car or Home
