You cant steam music over bluetooth on the NTG2.5.
Given your set up use a headhone jack to that input and connect your phone if you have music on it and select aux input on the comand.

Whats the white conical thing below the aux input

I can use 3.5mm aux cable and play music. But than volume is poor...i thought connecting bluetooth to aux and tha stream over bt, as I see some people done it...
It is not worth giving 350€ just to get Aux Boost option... and I can not update firmware at home right?

I had the same in our old SLK. I connected an iPod to the 3.5mm jack & played my music from there.

.... there are strange BT 3.5mm things on ebay. needs power (a plus and minus) and then no control (other than the device making the noise). but it will allow calls or music to stream over BT

just thinking I had one on her Focus ... https://www.kinivo.com/products/kin...e-adapter-for-cars-with-3-5mm-aux-input-apt-x

with a mic and some call answer buttons - worked great but needed a ground loop thing to cut back electrical noise and when I changed to an upgraded (more powerful stereo it sounded terrible - never understood how). But I then retrofited the Ford genuine BT phone and music streaming thing and it was fantastic
