OP, as a audio guy I highly do not recommend BT audio. Using a Aux input would give you much better sound quality over BT streaming. However the connivence factor does take a hit. I know what you mean with them not having the major support for newer devices in the BT market. However alpine really caters more towards the "I" market rather than android. BT is not something they even care for themselves being that the compression ration is so high.
Yeah sound quality suffers but it's an ok compromise to not have to be fiddling with my phone while driving or finding and connecting it when I get in the car.

The biggest issue I have is Alpine downgraded the Bluetooth receiver and didn't tell anyone or change any of their documentation.
