Having lost my old Nexus 5 I've put the insurance money towards an iPhone 6s.

Now it's always annoyed me that I can't stream audio over bluetooth on the Freelander and then I discovered that I can buy a little box that sets up a wireless hotspot that the iPhone connects to and then feeds the audio into the Aux input.

So I've picked up one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00O0U37HO and one of these www.amazon.co.uk/T1-Audio-T1-CTVLRX003-Con...B006B7EVCE and we'll see what happens.

Yup should work well mate. I recently put an old apple tv3 in mine. Fantastic gadget. I can now wirelessly stream music and put video to the dash monitor when i stop at services etc.

Look forward to hearing how it works out. If all good might try it myself

Interesting. I assume you have no control over the device in terms of skipping tracks etc other than the device itself?

Might be quite interested in this myself. Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.

I use siri and the hey siri command. "Hey siri, skip this track"

Will need to look into it further I think. I mostly use streaming apps like Napster or Spotify, playing downloaded tracks while in the car. I don't think either of those apps use DNLA so it may not work for me. The specs of that box doesn't mention Bluetooth support. Learned to drive in 2011.

This will do it if you just want a2dp music over bluetooth. https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/161890732683

However you may find your phone wont allow you to connect to both the built in hands free and that at the same time.

Yeah, thats another issue. Seems like there's no cost effective and perfect solution. If I come into any decent amount of cash I want to put a proper Pioneer head in mine. Learned to drive in 2011.

i use an iphone and it will connect to both the radio phone function and a seperate bluetooth adapter at same time , so you can stream from phone .

For those who may be in a familiar situation as me, wanting to use an app like Spotify/Napster/Google Play on Android which won't work as these aren't DNLA compatible, you could always replace the Neet with a Chromecast Audio... Does the same job. Learned to drive in 2011.

Molesholme - what is the adapter for that you linked to? I have a 2011 Alpine (non premium) head unit so not sure if I need it. Learned to drive in 2011.

The adaptor provides RCA connectors at the rear for AUX In rather than having to use the jack in the console.

Cool. Is it fairly obvious where it goes? Learned to drive in 2011.

Re. the Chromecast Audio I very nearly bought one of those (currently on special at Currys for £14) but it doesn't look like they play nicely with Apple.
