[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 697409, member: 1780"] [b]Re: Re: Random Thoughts[/b] I was typing that going down the road, let me clarify. In order to buy a bluetooth dongle to use with factory radio (not fm transmitter, I know what those are also), the only available ones I have been able to find are as follows: My Malibu has a usb port and 3.5mm aux port on the oem radio. The only way a dongle will work is if it has a power source and a way to input the audio to the receiver (radio, head unit, whatever you want to call it). So they make one that plugs in a usb port to power it, then there is a short cable running from the dongle to the car's 3.5mm port to carry the audio received through the bluetooth dongle to the radio. I was surprised to find that you can't just buy a usb dongle and it stream audio alone. I figured having a dongle AND a cable hanging out of my oem radio would look gay as fawk, so I just use an aux cable and be done with it.
