I want a transmitter device which will broadcast car radio sound to a BLUETOOTH receiver, such as BT headphones, NOT TO THE CAR RADIO, BUT FROM THE CAR RADIO USING BLUETOOTH and allow the car's speakers to be turned off?
I understand the reason (safety) why auto manufacturers do not include an output (e.g. 1/8" pin) from the car radio, but if the person listening is not the driver, then (like screens in the back seat) there is no reason not to have this capability.
The ideal device would be one that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket, or a USB port, but that requires somehow routing the car radio output to one of those, and this is well beyond my tech capabilities.
Is there a socket, ideally accessible without taking the dash (or any part thereof), that will plug in between one of the existing male/female wiring connectors to provide the car radio source for such a device which will then broadcast over BT.
As is probably evident, I don't know much, if any, car audio terminology, so please be patient. I am happy to try to clarify any confusion above, but please include an explanation for any industry terminology (e.g. head unit, etc.) that you might use.
And if this post should go into another category, can a mod transfer it to the correct subforum? Tks
