Default Bluetooth adapter

Has anyone on here try to Bluetooth adapter?
Would like to play music from my iPhone but don't want to change the head unit!
Saw them on line where they just plug into the 3.5 mm Jack.
They are cheap enough just don't know if it work.
Thank you
Randy

I use this one from Best Buy and it hasn't let me down yet. Music sounds much better too.

I hardwire these with a 1-amp in-line fuse on the bike and in my car. 1/8" to RCA adapter cable to plug into Aux inputs, and this one auto-connects when powered up.

I like the extras that this one has. The ability to change songs is a big plus.

I sent my head unit to Iron cross radio to have a rear audio plug installed. While there I had the install integrated blue tooth. Nice clean install, albeit quite a bit more expensive than the Best Buy solution.
