Easiest way to stream in my 2005 Corolla

[Scottchester]

Hi all
Recently picked up a 2005 Corolla t sport which has replaced a much newer jeep renegade which had Bluetooth etc,.
Being the t sport the Corolla has got the top spec head unit including a 6 disc in dash changer.
The sound quality is a bit poor but that's probably the 15 year old paper speakers.

Looking for 2 things please
1) advice on best way to stream music but keep the existing head unit
2) advice on options for replacement head unit

Over the years I've done alot of car audio including head units, speaker, subs, amps, 10 disc changers etc but having been driving much more modern cars for the last few years it's been a while since ive done anything of this nature or been looking at aftermarket kit

Any advice greatly received

Is the CD changer integrated into the head unit or a separate module? If it's separate and you don't mind losing it, you could fit one of these:

I had a 2004 Volvo with a Novero bluetooth handsfree hardwired in, you connected your phone by bluetooth and could stream songs through your car speakers using it. You can see the answer and hangup buttons were also skip buttons, and the screen showed the song playing.



I think most bluetooth handsfree kits do this now too

Mine is the one where the changer is in the dash

Thanks, I will look into how complicated the fitting would be
