If it was me, I would do a Dension Unit that has both Bluetooth phone and music streaming plus a music interface all in one unit. By the time you buy an AMI unit, bluetooth module, its the cost of a Denison 500S BT and you would still lack music streaming via bluetooth.

How does the Denison link with the car? I had thought it had something to do with AMI.

Thanks

I think it emulates the cd changer and connects to the MOST circuit.
