Hi,

I just purchased a 2009 XLE Corolla :clap: with JBL and currently use the aux port to listen to music from my phone. The sound is really good and the bluetooth phone pairing works perfectly. My question is as follows:

Is there a way to upgrade or attach some accesory so that the JBL sound system can stream bluetooth audio as it does on some 2010 models like prius or venza? :hammer:

Thanks

Nope, streaming isn't available on our cars :sosad:

A2DP (bluetooth audio streaming protocal) sounds terrible compared to the headphone out though, so why would you WANT to?

So the stock JBL stereo in our cars doesn't have A2DP profile? I want to try it out anyway if it does.

I actually find that the Bluetooth streaming is equal quality in my car as the headphone jack, but not as good as the USB port option.

As you saw in 2009, they weren't available. With the new headunits, which look much improved, you can stream over BT.
