Bluetooth Adapter for Kawasaki Sound System?

Anyone know of a BlueTooth adapter for hooking my Android phone to the Kawasaki Sound system (or vice-versa)? It would be great to play MP3s and Pandora from the phone over the Kawasaki system. Would also be nice to route the sound from the Kawasaki system to a BlutTooth headset.

Any ideas? Thanks.

You can pick up a small blue tooth receiver on ebay for 10 or 15 bucks just plug it into the head phone jack and your good to go.

Chuck, I am not tracking per say. Is there a way to connect a phone wirelessly to my 2012 vaquero without the 80-105 dollar cord? As in something to comm control via a receiver? Basically I am Bluetooth illiterate and need a crayon drawn diagram :-)

I'm not sure the Voyager even has a headphone jack Chuck... Mine doesn't.

you will need 2 things

I installed a charger behind the fairing pocket and mounted the receiver inside the pocket. I just have to turn it on so my phone connects to it when I want to use it each time.

For just a bit more cash wouldn't it be just as easy for me to do the iPod adapter and a 30 pin to 8 pin adapter? I just want to listen to tunes but certainly wouldn't object to charging my phone too

Yeah , you would then have the ability to control it from the handle bar controls. I had just gotten a new android before I got my vaq. I'm not a apple fan but will be switching when I can.

I just got a bluetooth headset for my helmet and stream music directly from my phone. Sena has a dongle called SM10 that may do what you want.

I would like the answer to this myself. I have an iPhone and don't want to buy a iPod too. I like using my phone to do both. So, how do I listen to music from my iphone on my Vaquero. Would prefer a Bluetooth answer, but anything will work I guess.

If you just want to listen to the I-phone you can get the standard audio adapter here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Vul...ecdea9&vxp=mtr

Plug that into the connector in the left glove box and hook it intot he headset jack of the phone.

If you want to listen, and see the display on the audio display, be able to pull up play lists, control your music from the handle bar controls, and charge your phone all at once, you need this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Vul...77eb02&vxp=mtr

Of course if you have an iPhone 5 you'll also need a 30 pin to lightning adapter - I recommend the corded one from Apple as the cord gives you extra room to make hook up easier and others have had issues with the performance of non-Apple adapters:

I use my galaxy 4 plugged in to the aux plug inside the fairing. I found a bluetooth remote control on amazon that paired easily with the phone. I mounted that on top of the tank so now I can change songs, pause, and adjust phone volume while the phone is locked up inside the fairing. This works great for me the remote only cost me $20
