Currently running a universal bluetooth fm transmitter with my stock 08 navi/xm headunit. I only use it for streaming music and the sound just isn't loud enough. Which interface has everyone been going with? And how is the sound quality?

I have an 07 Escalade with the stock head unit. I'm looking for an add on Bluetooth module, just wondering if anyone with this generation has had any luck, I haven't found a USB port or a 3.5mil stereo jack. Anyone had success with add ons?

07-14 Escalade that have external XM receivers can add a plug n play A2DP BT module in just a few minutes. Some of the 12-14 Burb, Tahoe & Yukon have the external XM module. You’ll have to verify.
Again, the above module is for A2DP (music, audio) by streaming from a device, not making calls.

Factory BT for phone calls is simply added by swapping out the 07/08 VCIM / OnStar module for one from a 09-14 full size SUV. It’s plug n play and no programming required.

I used this with the appropriate cables. On my 08 I had an RCA cable to the rear audio/video input. My 13 doesn't have RSE so it goes in the front aux with a that right angle cable. Get the appropriate adapters for your application. Set the gain where you want it just be careful not to distort. The clip led on this comes on a bit late.

Fits perfect under the center cup holder insert. Just needed to run a 12v outlet under there for power.
