Amp & Speakers Only?

d1gitman

First off let me start by saying my Z is not even 2 weeks old and loving it!!! 2016 Base, AT, Pearl White.

With that being said, the base audio system IS pretty pathetic. What I would ultimately like to do is a vertical ipad install. Untill then I would be just as happy with an amp, new speakers and added sub.

Does anyone know if amps exist that have built in Bluetooth and compatible with iPhone & iPad? I've seen some that have their own Bluetooth remote but that isn't necessarily what I'm looking for. I never use AM/FM/CD so I'm fine with losing that radio function. I just want power & volume. My intent is when eventually do the ipad install that I only need to provide it power. same with using phone, I just want to provide power to it.

If bluetooth is all you're after, iSimple makes a module that'll plug into the aux port of the factory headunit (or in line with the radio plug) and will give you bluetooth in the car. I've installed it in a few cars and it's really not bad

I probably need to clarify. I'm not interested in retaining the factory head unit. I want to remove it altogether and have just an amp, ipad & iphone interface. Also, would be nice to retain the cellphone Bluetooth connection with new setup.

hmm.. Let me look into some stuff and I'll get back to you

There are many many ways you can do this now a days. There is buying a amp with built in BT and just using that through your phone or tablet.

There is running a cable from any amp to a BT module that will pair with your devices that way and have a small volume knob you can mount somewhere for volume and change track.

There is running a device through the headphone jack to a Y splitter into your amp but you have to be very careful about adjusting your gains and how high you turn your volume up on your device.

I have included a few links to get you started.
