2006 Gs450H Bluetooth Audio

ZXSpectrum · May 26, 2015

Has anyone tried the Layen I-DOCK with the GS450H ML Audio system? I spotted it and as I have the old ipod connector in the car thought it would work. There was even a review of someone with it working on a 2007 GS...

Sorry I cant link to it but for some reason I cant paste into this window/thread..

Anyway it looks like a neat little solution for simple Bluetooth Audio although it is just Analogue it should be fine for podcasts and music.

Anyone tried it?

My solution for BT audio was to connect a BT receiver with output to AUX in ; simple, easy , even if of course you can't read titles on car monitor...

That's the idea and fine by me. All I really want to do is play music and podcasts via Bluetooth to my head unit. I know I wont have control via the head unit but that's not a problem. I will get one ordered and report back :)

iPod connector in 2006 GS? I thought they did the iPod connector on the 08 and up?

I think it was an option. I have a rather short cable that comes out in the glovebox that connects to an ipod and goes into the head unit.

Just to update this thread... Well I finally got round to ordering and fitting the Layen I-Dock 4.0 and... It doesn't work... :( It plugs in, it connects to my phone and that's it really. No audio... I have tried changing to the Aux by hitting the "DISC" Button (The one with the round numbers the same way I chose my playlists on my ipod nano) But nothing. I have emailed them and hopefully it is something I have missed but not looking good at the moment. Even though a review on amazon stated it was working ok with an 07 GS 300 and there are reports of them working ok on the clublex forums.
