Hey All. I've done my research and I am coming up short on getting what I'm looking for which is adding bluetooth capability to the factory radio.
I know there are plug in to the cigarette lighter port but I'm looking for more of a hidden module of some sort.
The videos on YT are dated which brings me to seeing if anyone has ideas or product recommendations on how to go about this.

Thanks!

Bluetooth cassette adapter

There is a line input for the optional CD player that can be used. To select it, you’ll need to fool the head to think that the CD is in use. This can be done through the din connector on the back of any original FD radio. You can keep the cd if you want, too. Did this many years ago to accommodate my XM radio input after the cassette and RF link died. Works fine.

Trying to avoid if possible the cassette thing...

What module did you use on the back of the radio

For the OEM FD radio, if not the cassette aux in, than the next best option is a Bluetooth FM transmitter. If you want to try something like a NB Miata radio (looks similar to Spirit R) there's a "Sylfex aux in" plugin mod in which you can get an Aux-in Bluetooth Adapter to make it work, that's what I use.

Would you mind sharing the steps you took to get it to work? What year is the Miata radio? Link to the adapter?
I appreciate it.

The info is on this thread:

You get the non-bose radio if your car doesn't have the Bose.

Thanks for the link. Looking to keep the single din radio.

fwiw, there's a guy in the Miata community that adds Bluetooth to the factory head unit. Considering they swap over, not too much of a stretch to believe he can do it for the FD head unit.

I know it's been awhile since I posted this inquiry. I just wanted to share something that I bought that allows me to stream music with the oem radio. Works perfect!
