Reddit reviews BriteLink Bluetooth Audio Receiver: Portable, Bluetooth Music Receiver with Stereo Output (3.5 mm) for Home and Auto Stereo Systems - by CyberTech

You could get a Bluetooth receiver.

The cheap way is a 3.5mm to RCA cable.

A fancier option would be a bluetooth audio reciever, though I don't know too much about these, having never used one personally. This would be used in conjuction with a 3.5mm female to RCA stereo adapter cable, which is in the "Frequently Bought Together" section

Also, if you have an X-Box, PS3, or other DLNA-compatible device connected to your stereo, you can use Media Server to stream music files from your phone. However, this will not work with streaming services like Pandora or Google Play Music.

Something like this?

What kind of speaker set up do you have right now? The easiest option I can think of is to have a receiver with Bluetooth and then just use your phone. There are devices out there that can replicate that functionality for very cheap:

I've never used one of those to attest to their quality, but for $13 it's probably worth a shot.

You could also just attach a small laptop/chromebook/tablet right to your amp and leave it there like a jukebox screen. Little less space than a full TV. Honestly, you could just do that with your phone too.

Is this what you were thinking?

I would recommend using a HDMI audio extractor if you can (I have this one
I was using bluetooth for a while but I got sick of the slight amount of lag with my setup.
When I was using bluetooth I swapped between a cheap bluetooth speaker and using this adapter with headphones.

I really really would recommend going with a HDMI audio extractor if you can go with a wired solution. On a plus side if you ever want to use something else with your monitor like a DVD player, Roku or Chromecast etc, then you have a solution that works with anything HDMI.

Actually, I hadn't thought about something like that...

Amazon 1 and Amazon 2 (examples)


It looks like you just pair your phone (via BlueTooth) to the receiver which plugs into the AUX in on your car stereo.

There is the problem of the box and the cable though. Two thoughts: 1. some audio decks with have an additional connection on the back that just needs to be plugged into, if that is the case you could run the hidden wire into the glove box or between the seats or something to where the receiver is reachable so that you can charge it. 2: get a "vent mount" or something that keeps it close to the AUX and out of the way - heck, it would probably still work if you just plugged in the cable and tossed the box into the glove box.

EDIT: I should mention I have never used anything like that, I was inspired by your comment and looked up "bluetooth to stereo receiver" and there we are. As such you would want to look into their performance and the reviews before making a purchase.

Or a chromecast, or a second generation airport express or a bt-to-3.5mm receiver

The convenience is even more apparent in the car. I've adapted touchstone's to my NS4G and my wife's EVO4G. I'm looking at bluetooth stereo receivers now too.

I was considering this mic and any headset that has an over-the-ear clip. What type of devices are you talking about? I found this device, but I dont believe it would work as there isnt any amplification functionality built into it. Although, maybe I can fit this little headphone amp into the mix somehow.

I have looked into the hearing assistance device you link to and, according to its the reviews and reviews of a few similar devices, those types arent very good.

Thanks for your response.
