I have a 2009 lancer with bluetooth working and installed. AND i do NOT have a navigation. just basic console with 6 cd changer/sirius radio and all.

My bluetooth is already installed and working. All my steering wheel buttons are working and all. But one thing disappoints me about my OEM bluetooth. Is that i cant play music via bluetooth.

I know its because its an older manufactured bluetooth. and that most new cars with bluetooth built in can stream there music through bluetooth in there car. playing through the car's sound system...

So i was wondering if its possible to like upgrade my bluetooth to be able to pllay bluetooth audio?

Would this need hardware replacement?
is there an OEM for this?
i prefer OEM parts, but if it cant be helped i guess ill look into after-market parts if it does the job right.:con fused:

Update [Dec 23 2012]:
-i went to try look through the manual and played with the button on my console labelled "cd/mp3". hoping to maybe find a "bluetooth audio" mode. but nothing found. only thing happens is when press the button once ==> goes to cd player. when i hold the button for a few seconds ==> goes to AUX PLAYER. =/

-anyone else found it? specifically Lancer 2009.
cause i think only the new models like 2011-2013 around. are capable to stream music from there phone via bluetooth to car sound system.

-Maybe theres a way to use sirius radio? and stream music from there? I personally think sirus radio is kinda useless in today's day and age. since we all have iphone/andriod and play our own music. i would be happy to lose the satellite radio crap for some real bluetooth audio. that would be sweet. =D

-I looked up FUSE system.. seems exactly what i want!!! is it compatible with 2009 Lancer? IF so. Does anyone know where i can buy the OEM one or order it? i really prefer not to ask dealership cause there gonna charge me up the butt for it and convince me "ITS THE ONLY WAY" and i looked at the console of 2011-2013 lancers and seems a bit different. does this show a problem for older 2008-2010 drivers if they want to upgrade to FUSE?

You would need a FUSE capable head unit

2011+ Evo head units definitely do this. Whether you can just swap one in or not, that I don't know.

They do? I can't get my 11 to stream audio over Bluetooth either

build date?

all 2011+ can stream audio via BT as they integrated FUSE.

I thought that they could only do it via AUX cable...I've been trying to get my andriod device to stream music through bluetooh for weeks!

on your radio.. does it have a CD/MP3 button?

if it does just cycle to "Bluetooth"

Yeah I've never had any problems with A2DP. Pairing a bluetooth device is a pain in the *** (setup, pairing options, pair, 0000, STFU FUSE!) but once it's done, it works great.

Ill have to try it, I've always used the aux cable and held down the CD button until AUX pops up

Verified, my 11GSR streams via BT. One of reasons I wanted the car. I stream ScannerRadio so I can hear what the high patrol is doing and where

Sunwalker12

Yup, it works....so glad man, now I can get rid of that ****ing cable!

So if you wanted to install FUSE into an older X, what would you have to replace? Just the head unit?

I believe you need a FUSE capable Bluetooth module , and a FUSE capable headunit.

Thats about it from what I remember. If i pull something up I'll pass it on.

I guess ill have to mess with it some more, I've always just used a cable too.
