Bluetooth - what a great feature!

On my first extended camping trip and discovered the Bluetooth feature on the Jensen system. How great to be able to link Pandora from my phone to the T@b speaker system.  This, combined with my long hot shower in the T@b is real "clamping".

I would love this feature.  At least my system has an auxiliary in jack on the front, but bluetooth makes it so easy.

Amazon Music is better than Pandora, IMO.

I haven't  found the Bluetooth feature on ours.  Unfortunately we store away from home and when we camp I dislike spending my time reading the booklet.  
We seldom have cell service so that is another obstacle for Pandora or Amazon.
I am still trying to get DVD sound they the TV rather than the rear speakers, if that is even an option.

My 2015 doesn't have Bluetooth, bummer.

I believe you can get a Bluetooth dongle that plugs into the input jack - Or, I could have just dreamt that. I have a portable Bluetooth speaker (BigJambox) - Like the portability, can use inside/out or wherever I want music.

I think it was an FM transmitter that goes into the headphone sized jack.

There's those (don't work that well) but I could swear I read about a Bluetooth dongle somewhere.

Sure, there are a few of them.  You can broadcast from a variety of sources -- I have one for an IPOD nano that has old style apple plugin that I've added a broadcaster, out of a headphone plug  (amazon lists a few of them -- taotronics, anker, azeca among many others), USB dongles for input, but no broadcast into the headphones.  If the device has any aux input (including the standard 2.5 or 3.5" input plug, it can receive bluetooth.  

Look on Amazon for the type you want -- as long as there is an input available (iPod, mic jack, USB, among others), there is a broadcast sender or receiver to match up ....

Like PxLated, I have a bluetooth speaker.  In addition to portability, it doesn't draw battery power to run (as long as you can charge the device (TV inverter or USB charging port).  Got to keep that battery draw down....

Mine also sounds great (better base than T@B speaker system).

mash2 - Amazes me how good the sound is out of my Jambox. I also have a specialty Bluetooth speaker unit that ties into my GarageBand setup and I can actually play my bass thru it - not real booming loud but good enough for practice.

Honestly, an old fashioned 3.5mm audio cable is probably the easiest route to go. http://amzn.to/1MancmD

Easiest but least convenient :-)

Mine is a JBL Charge.  Great sound and doubles as a USB charging dock in emergencies (6000 MAh battery).   In keeping with trying to get my stuff to always do double duty (a second backup charger if needed).  If needed, I can charge it through my primary small stuff charger (a 50000Mah solar charger that I leave on the dash).
