Need stereo help

[buckbuck]

The Sony radio on my 2008 212X sounds great and is plenty powerful for this guy. However, I am finding that I would really like the convenience of Bluetooth which this radio does not have. Is it possible to add a Bluetooth device to the existing radio and allow me to stream music from my phone? Is there a device you could recommend?

Here ya go @buckbuck. As long as your Sony radio has a 3.5 mm aux input. There are many other devices available. This is just one at Best Buy.

Can you post the model number of your radio so that we know what connectors it has? Unless @Gym has you covered because there's a 3.5mm input...

If it has AUX RCA inputs, any of those BT adapters would work, right?
I had one of those a Exile Audio BTs worked great!

^^ lots of different versions of these. Plug in and pick a static FM station(unused FM station on your dial). Lots around for 20$ish. Many will work for track skip and pause. Found volume control is iffy for some sold with it depending on your device.

I have an older Fusion head unit that didn't have Bluetooth so I use this. Works fantastic!

Sony CDX-HS70MW which came with the boat. Right now I am just plugging my phone into the radio with the Aux input. Looks like you guys just saved me $200 I was going to spend at Crutchfield. Thanks a bunch.

Just wanted to report back I have been using the Fusion MS-BT100 for a couple weeks and am very happy with the performance.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
