That cable has a headphone jack for audio and a mini usb port for power. I then bought the blackberry music gateway from amazon to stream the bluetooth audio and hooked to up to the cable (I tried a couple bluetooth gateways but the blackberry was the only one that auto paired with my iPhone when i returned to the vehicle. It also works seamlessly with the bluetooth hands free feature in the car). Then I bought a mini usb splitter and a mini usb to iPhone charger so that the iPhone can be charging at the same time as the bluetooth gateway. I have included links to the items I purchased. The total cost was around $120.

    I am heading over to make one myself now. It doesn't seem that difficult to make one. Especially when you open one MMI Interface cable up. I had one question though before I headed into this venture. How is the audio volume? Using the BB bluetooth receiver that is. Do you have to manually crank up the volume of the car stereo such that when you switch sources your have extra loud music? Has that happened to you?

    Thanks

    As long as the volume on my iPhone is set properly I don't have to fiddle with it too much.
